but as a side note, i love driving this car so much, its even more fun than the mg i used to have when i was in high school. best $1000 i ever spent.

Do you have solid rotors? It has been a few years since I have swapped pads on those calipers maybe they have less room to work?

All that matters is that it's done. Enjoy!
