bracket is not needed for the rear as it bolts right up.

Sorry to bring up a thread from its grave but My akebono setup from Z1 just doesn't seem right. I am using their bracket and my pads are sitting 1/8"-1/4" ABOVE the rotor causing unusual wear on both pads and rotors. I confronted Z1 about this issue and provided pictures. I was informed this is not an issue, and that many cars in their shop do the same and it will not cause any issues. I was also told to grind the top of the pads that are now wearing over the top
Edge of the rotor "for relief". Has anyone else had this issue??
