I started putting mk4 calipers on the rear as one of my calipers was sticking.
I am assuming that you have to use the existing Passat caliper carrier as it doesn't look possible to make the mk4 one fit?
I bought some ceramic pads for mk4 rear calipers from idparts and when I tried to fit them they would not go in with the metal brake clips installed. I have ground a little of off the sides of the pads to make them fit. I have them fitting now, but still pretty tight, should they be able to slide freely? If so I need to grind a little more.
Has anyone else had this issue with pad fitment when using mk4 calipers?
