Important info for Telstar owners.

I was getting my front and rear brake pads changed today and when we went to throw the skinnies back on the wheel didn't want to move.

On further inspection, with extra meat on the pads, the slider pumped out and parts of the caliper and tabs off the brake pad have rubbed against the wheel.

Then we popped off the wheels, ground down parts of the calipers and then they started to spin freely.

Anyone else have this problem? I thought Telstars on LT1 cars didn't require grinding.

FYI, I've got Performance Friction Z Rated brake pads and Power Slot rotors.

Never heard of this problem before. Something must not have been done right or you got a bad wheel
