Duralast Aftermarket Brake Pad Fit - Touching Rotor Edge/Lip

Thanks for your thoughts on this, Brad.

Won't the rub on the rotor lip cause either uneven wear (angled) or squeal?

Secret: I run rear pads on the front of the 2.5 and 2.7 cars ALL the time.

The difference is only 4-5mm of pad material. Gives me a little more rear brake bias

Run them and find out! I believe those Duralast pads have a lifetime warranty.

If you are seriously concerned? Take a file and knock down the edge that is overhanging. Wood rasp will do it. Try not to breath the dust

They'll be fine. I've run pads on my Formula Ford like that, and any ridge of pad material flakes off easily, without interference .
