Default New discs.

Hi. Had new discs all round and pads, now it’s rained I can see a 2mm rusty ring on the outside and inside edges of the discs where the pad isn’t touching to the edges , never noticed this on any vehicles before? Why would this be? Wrong size pads? ( Brembo gold sti calipers, and correct discs) ...

Why do you think discs are replaced due to wear. 90% of the time its due to an excessive lip on the outer edge

I personally probably change 10-15 full sets of discs a week on various vehicles as stated before there's a lip on the inner/outer edge of 90% of the replaced items. Would you like me to go and get pictures out of the scrap skip.
