Re: Project: Over My Head

Well, I thought I was about done with the brakes. Bought the POL 6 lug disc kit, which in my case is a POS 6 lug disc kit.
Exhibit A, pictured below, shows that the pads wedge into the bracket - so you can't install the caliper correctly. [IMG][/IMG]
Exhibit B, not pictured, the top caliper slide mount surface is cocked or mislocated somehow such that the slide pin, when threaded in, contacts the rotor.
Exhibit B subsection 1 - the contact isn't even as you turn the rotor. There is runout in the rotor. On brand new bearings - from POL.
The customer service interaction is under way so I'm reserving final judgement but so far, I'm displeased and $560 deep into it.

EDIT: If I've obviously installed it wrong, somebody, lemme know. I'd rather wear the clown suit for a day and move on than think myself correct & be mad.
