Performance friction pad fitting
Anyone had problems getting them to fit in their Calipers? Tried fitting mine tonight into my front brembos, 1 pad went straight in but the others were so tight on the sides had to sand them down to get them to slide in.

Yes as above , there will be corrosion under the pad plates in the calipers , bending them away from the caliper body , which make the pads a tight fit in the calipers , try and clean out under the plates , and bend them back , ideally you need to remove them , clean away the corrosion , apply some paint and refit , if you struggle to do this , last resort would be to take material off the backing plates of the pads , but have a good go at fixing the issue first

Im talking a bare minimum sanding of the pad backing plate here, it was just to free it up a bit, otherwise it was very tight, im not complaining.. ive often had to do it on other
