Default Classic Brembo's not contacting all disk

Hi all

Recently fitted Brembo's and later rear hubs etc on my classic, 1 side doesn't clean the whole disk as per attached pic

Thinking of sending calipers for refurb, fitting new disks & pads, just wondered if this was a common problem?

Thanks for your advice

it wont be a caliper problem per se, its most likely either a sticky pad or odd wear from a previous disc??

Are they the black ones with STi on them instead of Beembo? I thought they only fit a classic with cut down pads and WRX bugeye discs or something.

Thanks for the replays guys, much appreciated, thought pads & disks but was unsure

They are gold Brembo's from an 04STI with matching hubs, I painted them black

Meant to add they were new pads but second hand disks from donor car
