[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 15897935, member: 184279"] Is it possible the pads are manufactured with a little extra thickness at the top? I would measure the thickness with a dial caliper just for the heckuvit. I would assume they should all (all four) be equal thickness. Then I would mount pads back (carefully) and put it all back together on one side and eyeball the edge of the pads in relation to surface of the rotor. If something seems cockeyed, then you need to figure out what it is. If everything seems parallel and straight, then this may just be "normal" wear until the pads get some miles on them. Both sides are doing it, so I am kinda leaning towards this could be "normal" for this setup. But it is odd that the inboard pads are perfect while both outboard pads are not fully contacting the rotor. Again, double and triple check your assembly. Make sure nothing is binding. I have seen numerous times where I needed to file casting edges off the pads to prevent them from binding. And be sure the sliders and abutment clips (not sure what you have on that caliper) are in correct places, seated and lubed properly. And if still stuck (or no answers here) then call vendor where you got the parts, or better yet, call the manufacturer directly and email them pics. [/QUOTE]
