Stoptechs and poor fitting brake pad backing plates

[Sook]

The Wiseman/Sanchez 4th gen had the red powder coated ST40s, and always had issues with pad fitment.

I've got black ST40s, and my hawk pads fall right in. I think you're onto something with it possibly being a lot issue. Maybe 100s are slightly out of tolerance at a time?

I can't remember if I ran into this on wildwoods or atoptechs, but I distinctly remember a set of carbotechs where the pad material creeped just past the perimeter of the backing plate and I had to grind to fit

I can't remember what pads I run now on my stoptechs but they're not g loc or carbotech, no issues
