I checked that. Lower slides are hanging up but I can get the to move. I measured all the calipers and pads. Calipers are all about .25 over size. Left front had a stone get caught between the pad and rotor causing damage. Scored the rotor and chewed up the pad, which is what prompted me to buy the new kit. As a temporary fix I bought a cheap set of pads which came with both sets. I threw one set on. Didn't install the other. I measure the unused set against the kit set. Kit is also a few MM's over.

Rears go on but need lots of persuasion. Fronts not at all. I did put the unused set in the calipers and it went right on.

So I am think if I can slim these kits down a bit they will go one. I just don't want to do any damage.
