brembo rear pads
Any body had trouble fitting these. I fitted a set of mintex about 18months ago and the pad was about 2mm to thick to go between caliper and disc. I took a couple of mm off the pad and all has been ok.
I put this at the time down to using different pad/disc makes although that shouldnt make a difference.
Today ive fitted new disc and pads all round (pagid)
Fronts all fitted great, rear discs all good handbrake adjusted nicely. Went to put the pads in and same thing all 4 pads needed around 2mm removing from the friction surface to enable fitting.

You have Mit Evo pads which are 2mm thicker than the sti rear pads , although the pads are exactly the same shape , most pad makers make them in only one thickness , so it's not generally a problem , but there are some makes that still make to suit either the EVO or STi's , the STi pads will fit the EVO , but not vise versa

Thanks for the reply. Ive fitted them by shaving the 2mm off.
So thats mintex and pagid using evo pads and boxing them subaru. Shame they didnt do it the other way round
