Has anyone had a hard time getting the caliper to fit over Hawk HPS 5.0 or HPS pads in general on the Cobra calipers? On both the driver and passenger side it's been an absolute nightmare getting the pin in because the anti rattle clips are either too thick or the pads themselves are just a hair off.
Both calipers I got (Power Stop Cobra ramans from RockAuto) have leaks around the pistons when I went to bleed them. I'm assuming it's from the fighting, twisting and applying crazy amounts of pressure to provide just enough clearance to get the pin in.
I've read Hawk pads can be too thick but not too big?
Rockauto is sending me new calipers under warranty but what in the world is going on with these pads?
I was thinking of getting an aftermarket rattle clip kit to see if the clips the pads came from Hawk are just too beefy but does anyone have any ideas?
I've bought Power Stop calipers in the past in the GT variant and never had this issue.
