Hi everyone

I bought these https://www.ecstuning.com/b-brembo-p...nt/p06097~brm/ and all my research suggests these are fine. They look the same size as the OEM pads that came out. I have only put on 60km, so barely anything, but they look like they are not hitting the entire surface of the brake rotor.

This happened before when I got pads for the rear from FCP Euro, they were certain the part was correct, but turns out it was for the prior gen with smaller brakes. I got new OEM ones and boom, the rears were fine.

Do I have the correct part? Do I need to put more kms (miles) on it?

 

To me, it looks like you received a smaller footprint pad. Extra miles/klicks on them won't change that pattern IMHO. Bummer.

 

I am inclined to agree and this was not what I was wanting to hear lol.

 

Send me the pad number on the box or pad itself. I wonder if brembo sent us the smaller height pad.

Thanks
Mike

 

This is why I am confused, the part number is what was ordered on the box and I compared them to OEM--they are physically the same size, unless I am blind. Also, to be fair, I am in Canada and sourced them from a Canadian website—I did not get them from you but used your link to show the world so this is NOT a you problem at all

 

Ok no problem, i was trying to figure out is brembo messed up and boxed the wrong size pad or something, we are direct with them and i can solves issues that helps everyone out.

 

Update, pads are fine, just had to have them bed in more. Too early to panic lol oops

 

ok great! That factory geomet does take a couple hard braking tries to come off.

 

So was the shorter sweep area indicated caused by a light chamfer around the perimeter of the pad material or a function of the Geomet coating wearing off? It almost sounds like a slight chamfer that has now worn off and now the full pad outline is in play to me, but I don't have the BB setup on my '17. Can we see an 'after' pic now?? Just curious as to the pattern now, thanx.
