HELP: Problems with Compbrake Kit
Today i tried to instal my compbrake 6 Pot kit on my 4x4 Sapph, but i have some big problems.
The Rotors are much to close at the roadends.
The rotors are not in the middle of the callipers
And the brakelines are much to long
Does anybody know this problems and can help me???

But if the brackets wrong, what is with the rotors who are to close at the roadends.

I think it is most likely the bells, or maybe something just got accidentally mislabled, the person you got them off is ok so will soon sort it for you I'm sure.
