Default Observation On front brakepad install

Well, I just threw in the towel on the EBC Green Pads. Total junk IMO. The new traditional pads line up at an angle to the rotor, as opposed to the EBCs that were pretty much parallel to the rotor.. Is this design or install?

Default If I understand correctly, I'd verify your installation......

The pads, regardless of manufacturer, should run radially "parallel" to the rotor, not at an angle. However, I'm not sure how you could incorrectly install the pads to get this misalignment. Photo?

Yes, the face of the pad really varies in how it contacts the rotors. I am ok with it, new pads are silent
