Hi all,

I just noticed an issue with my front brakes.



This is happening to the inner and outer pads on the front brakes.
Could it be that I have the wrong pads, or the rotors have been machined down more than 300mm.

Also I noticed that on turns the ball joints come in contact with the rotors. I can clearly see the marks engraved on the front rotors from the ball joint.

Would anyone know what is the cause of these 2 issues?

the problem with your conversion, is that its custom. before machining down the rotor, first wast to check if the pad would actually fit, at least a guestimation.

i would measure the rotor as well, it could be its less than 300.

as far as the ball joint hitting, that was a well known situation, that some members addressed with a spacer.
