jdm calipers

[stefan]

hi i put my front end in yesterday

and jdm calipers don't fit in the gap between the rotor and backing plate

what could cause this issue?

[federal]

pushed the piston back into the caliper?

[stefan]

its not that the pistion is all the way in

the caliper wont fit between the backing plate and the rotor

[hachirusto]

has it happend on both sides or just the one, maybe a slightly bent hub axle cause the spacing to be out of wack?

[riojin]

i thought you needed the jdm backing plates aswell

[stefan]

i thought adm/jdm backing plates were the same

but if not ill have to source some jdm plates

hubs etc arnt bent i put em on the original struts and they do the same problem

I'm thinking its the backing plates

Have the calipers got the numbers 2022 stamped on them?

I put JDM front brakes on my car and from memory I didn't change the backing plates

Backing plates are the same ADM to JDM. Something must be bent or not fitted properly.

[stefan]

yes the calipers are 2022

and the adm ones are 2002

but why do i have the same problem fitting it on my old struts too?

[slide86]

its not the caliper bracket is it? are you using ADM ones or the ones from those coilovers.

perhaps try adm ones if you have them

[Sparkle86]

ADM calipers are 2014. Are you sure its a sprinter strut/backing plate? maybe some photos may help.

[stefan]

will get some picks up

I'm using coilovers from slide 86
and jdm 2022 calipers and dba slotted/vented rotors

my old struts has hubs and backing plate from ae85 and the calipers were 2002

if its the case ill need adm backing plates

[ghetto ke]

Maybe be obvious but you sure you got them oin the right way - left/right?

[stefan]

yeah there on the right way

its the backing plates

ive sourcd jdm backing plates and now see if this fixes the issue

do u need the whole dust cover or can you cut it off?

[RobertoX]

since u wont be racing leave it on

[Sparkle86]

So the AE85 brakes are differant to both the ADM and JDM AE86 brakes?

[stefan]

yup i found this out
