Hi Everyone,
I am slowly chipping away at DIY tasks on the 2001 Boxster base that I picked up a few weeks ago. Brake pads were supposed to be this weekend's project. The previous owner gave me a set of front and rear Duralast Gold brake pads, purchased at Autozone.
When compared to the OEM pads currently installed the surface area of the pad material is larger/higher. This is causing the pad material to touch the lip/edge of the rotor. I haven't seen this happen on my other cars and assume this is not good to use as it is.
I wanted to check in with this forum before I go out and purchase Mintex or Textar pads to replace these new Duralast ones.
(picture included - one pad shows that it is _higher_ than the rotor, but I just need to adjust this down to fit better, though I'm still not comfortable with the pad touching the rotor edge)
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
