Hey guys,
So I bought some calipers from the parts forum and claimed to be for the cts v brake upgrade. However, they were Mercedes Benz brakes. I figured that they would work the same as brembo made the same style 4 piston calipers for a lot of different cars. I also figured since I was getting them from this site that they would fit. However...... The mounting bracket on the caliper does not match with the spindle. The bolt holes on the caliper are a bit closer together than the spindle.
I'm tempted to create some sort of small extension bracket but that seems sketch and brakes is an area you do not want to be sketch.

Any suggestions? (Beside kick the seller in the *****)

Thanks!

 

*** that claimed to be....

 

No. kick em in the *****!

 

So tempting

 

Should probably kick myself for not measuring the distance between the mounting points

 

return them, hope you used paypal.

 

Go visit the people who sold you the product with my 2 good friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson

I'm pretty sure they will give you a full refund.

 

Unfortunately I bought them like 2 months ago and I didn't start work until I had all the parts a few days ago
