Message	Take a look at this: Most ppl I've seen file the pad down or live with it. The K.O.Z. kit is interesting but requires a LOT of grinding and test fitting. (The rotors expand when really hot.) Read about the K.O.Z. kit here. AFAIK there has only ever been one kit that solves this with no grinding and no overhang, but it's ubër rare -- yes, even rarer than the nixster's ubër rare skyline. (I'm looking at you Tim&Co. =) I've always wondered if there was a compatible pad with a shorter radial width (that would allow little to zero overhang) but I've never seen one. I've also been meaning to ask TDogg what he does about his pad overhang but I keep forgetting. Maybe he'll even reply. ;-) - G.
