k so i got everything mounted up. then i hung the rotor on the hub, then slid the caliper over. but it seems that the rotor doesnt have enough "backspacing", (just like in a wheel), to fit in the caliper....

right now i have the caliper bolted up, and the rotor is on but its crooked cause it wont go back far enough to fit perfectly in the slot of the caliper. am i making this clear? lol. heres some pics maybe they will help. do i have the wrong rotors? the guy said he was positive they fit on a 03 cobra but i have a feeling they are wrong. any other ideas?





anyways they look prett slick huh
other than my engine, these are my favorite part of my car!

 

Did you try using the lug nuts to push the rotor on the hub?

 

yeah but then it just bends the rotor.

 

is the piston out or moved on the pins? if so push the piston back in and center the caliper

 

no the pads are pushed in all the way and the pistons are in.

 

i sent an email to the guy i bought the brackets from. i should get an email back tomorrow.

 

look at the 3rd pic, see the gap behind the caliper bracket it looks like you need to grab hold of the caliper and pull towards the outside of the car.

 

*lightbulb goes off*

i think youre right rmodel!!!! thanks ill go check that out. i think ill have to use a c clamp to compresss the pistons more.

They sell a special tool for mutli piston calipers get you one.
