Changed the pads and rotors on my 2016 explorer today (z36 and centric premium).
The new pads have clips/springs on the side of the pads I assume to keep them off the rotors and cut down on rattle. The old pads did not have these.
Once installed and drove around I noticed the springs/clips are pulling the pads off the rotors like 1/4th of an inch. I am going to assume that is not normal and will just cause more travel in the peddle before stopping.
Can I just pull them off and cut the clips/springs off to match the old pads?
