Purchased Wagner ThermoQuiet PD1288 Brake Pad for Rear Brakes, but they don't fit!!!
So, I had to replace my rear brake pads and purchased . I went to put them on last night and had a problem with fitment. I was able to actually mount both pads onto the caliper and manually pushed the piston in so the pad on the piston was pushed all the way in...however, when I went to mount the caliper back onto the rotor assembly, it would not fit. What am I doing wrong? Please note that I have aftermarket dimpled slotted rotors from brakeperformance.com.
I ended up re-using the old pad on the outer part of the rotor as it appears there is still some pad life left on it. Seems fine so far...any others with similar experiences? Solutions? Thanks in advance!

Make sure all of the pistons are retracted completely. The discs are not the problem but the fit with new pads is a bit tight, you may have to tap the caliper into the bracket with a mallet - rubber or plastic preferred. Also, reusing the outer pad is cool for a temporary gotta get to work deal but not long term. Don't leave it like that - fix it properly.
