I'm having a problem with passing the California Brake & Light Inspection after buying back my GSX from insurance. My front left brake rotor had to be replaced so I went through RockAuto and bought ACDelco #18A1086A. I bought all 4 corners but only had time to replace the LF.
My problem is the shop said I failed the inspection, not because the front rotors were different but because the new rotor is smaller than stock and the brake pad hangs over the top of the rotor. It is true, the new rotor measures a diameter of 10.5" and stock, I measured, 10.875". That's a 3/8" difference. I checked RockAuto again and the listing said the rotor is for the Front axle of an AWD car.
What can I do? Does anyone know of a shop in the Sacramento, CA area that will pass me? Do I buy another set of pads that are smaller?
Thanks for the help. Long live the DSM!
