Alright guys im back with another question.

Right i bought front and back pagid disks from eurocarparts and i have put the fronts on today to realize the pads overlap the edge of the disks by 8mm. I checked google on my phone and found a few sites what say this is normal on certain cars and it is ok.

To me though, this doesn't look safe at all? Do i need different front pads or do i need to send these disks back? since they are smaller than the original disks what was on my ST.

Have eurocarparts sent me the wrong disks or do i need other smaller pads for these Pagid disks? If that is possible?

Check the parts number on the box and it matches the parts number on the site for a Fiesta ST.

Cheers.

you possibly have the smaller discs.... standered mk6 discs are 258mm and the ST has 280 or near as... be worth measuring the discs as it sounds like you have the 258mm front discs... sounds stupid but you havent put em on wrong? the rear discs are non vented i belive but it is possible there the wrong way

8mm past the pads = 16mm shorter on total diameter plus allowing a tiny amount for the rim of the disc which i would say is 2mm = 4mm total diameter.... 16 + 4 = 20mm shorter discs which sounds like your problem

No there deffiantly on the right way.

So have eurocarparts sent me the wrong disks? Fu*ked if they have as it gone dark now so can't swap them back over which means ill be late for work tomorrow.

Knew i should of put my original disks back on. Fcuk sake.....My own fault for listening to google shitty search results....

sorry to hear this mate but how comes you never went with/for the ebc brakes

Wish i did now. Read a lot of good things about Pagid so decided to go with them, what a bloody stupid idea that was.....

thats a shame mate

did you find them easy to do?

Nosnow seems you are right with the 258mm. guess eurocarparts aint got the best car matching search engine for brake parts.

Yeah there easy..... Just the pin is a annoying little bugger, especially when you are trying to keep your newly painted calipers unscratched.

i never paint my callipers as i always go flat out on the track and heat them up so much i bubble the paint

Is it safe to drive with these overlapping? We need to get some shopping done why we aint got little one lol.

i don't know, depends how much is overlapping

Ah ill take it for a few laps of block and find out.

Anyway what front disks do i need what are actually right for my car? lol

cheers

you need 280 diameter discs

Well we went shopping and we still alive..... wanted to see car in lit up carpark under tesco aswell we new splitter

have to say though, my stopping power as halfed....

flipping that, imagine if you're involved in an accident and insurance sees you with incorrect discs etc
