    Help Pro rotors on 95GT

    ok so i know the rotors are supposed to be bettter and i went to put them on todaywith corksports metal matrix pads...first off i had to take the calipers apart to the the pads and everythin to fit over the rotor and then had to tighten the 2 bolts that hold the calipers together last. little by little untill the gap closed up..

    so i finally got the setup to bolt up but now the rotor doesnt move at all.

            possible the calipers are seized? did you compress the piston all the way back into the caliper before you installed the pads?

                piston is back far enough.. im pretty sure its the outside pad thats causin the probs cuz the infits fine..

                  You need to push the piston ALL the way back and you need to make sure your sliding pins are indeed sliding and well lubricated.

                      its not the pins
                      i pulled off the outside part of the caliper and can see where the pad isnt flush..

                      when the pads and everythin is on cept the outside part of the caliper and the rotor and everythin is held in place by hand i hae a about a mm of room for the back pad so its def. not the piston....

                      hi ho hi ho to the dremel i go

                        ok pass side is all tightened down after a lil grinding to get the small imperfections and surface rust off.. still has more drag then i would like but they will be ok..now on to the dr. side..

                        its been so long since ive done the backs i cant remember do the rotors just slide off like the fronts once the caliper is off or do i need to unscrew the two screws...? i cant member if i pulled the rotor off when i did the pads

                        thats how long its been since this thing drove lol
