aidanep71 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 yea i read it but the levin caliper is made to fit a 25mm disc so pads may fall out when worn would rather the full thickness anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the quiet achiever Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 yea i read it but the levin caliper is made to fit a 25mm disc so pads may fall out when worn would rather the full thickness anywayhi i doubt that 3-4mm difference in thickness will cause any grief how many people actually wear their pads down to metal . so the likelihood of losing a pad is remote it sits in a slide Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 3 or 4mm either side is a lot tho and when there is a gap of about 3 or 4mm between the slider and levin disc add on the 3 or 4mm extra that will be there with the thin disc and there will be a fairly big gap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aidanep71 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 the bmw disc is 18mm the levin disc is 25mm so thats 7mm all together so 3.5mm plus the standard gap between holder and disc which is about 2 to 3mm aswell so then with the bmw disc you would have a gap of about 6mm which is a lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
