Brake issues-
My step dad has a 94' boosted miata. He just replaced pads and rotors. The front left outside pad is not making full contact with the rotor. We swapped out pads, same thing. I'm thinking this is a caliper issue. The rotor is straight, and machined flat. Any input?

Re: Brake issues-
im guessing his car has a free floating caliper and the bolts that makes the caliper slide back and forth is seized up

Re: Brake issues-
that ^^ or the piston in the caliper not pushing out would be the first two things to look at.
