[QUOTE="akurma, post: 15568343, member: 184627"] Worked on the cobra today, installed the headlights which makes me appreciate just how easy it is to change headlights in New edge mustangs lol. I attempted to tackle the rear rotors and pads, which i shouldn't have because i had other things to do today but i figured ehh why not ive done them before how hard can it be. Before i talk about the brakes, i was able to get the ugly exhaust tips off, for some reason I thought they were welded on but it turns out they are actually just screwed in around the tip, took them off and cleaned them up a bit and they polished up nicely. Back to the brakes, the calipers came off fairly easy, when i went to put the new pads on is where i started running into issues. I am using Powerstop Z17 pads, with Powerstop drilled & Slottled rotors. The new pads came with anti-rattle shims, the pads there were on the car didn't have any. As you can see below i can't get the caliper to slide over the new pads, it's almost as if the new pads are to thick, so for shits and giggles i wanted to see if the caliper would fit with the old pads and to my surprise it didn't only the top caliper bolt would line up, the bottom was about a 1/4 inch off no matter what. I think the parking cable is messing it up some how but At this point i was pressed for time and had to leave so i didn't get a chance to pull the parking brake cable off and see if that helps. ill pick up working on it tomorrow.
