Thank you both for the reply. That's what I thought, just needed a little assurance 😂

I have purchased Chinese brake pads for the front of my 2016 zforce 800.
I have removed the calliper and old pads pushed the pistons right in so they are flat with the calliper and out the new pads in. Now the gap is not enough to go over the disc. Is this a common problem with Chinese pads and is it just a case of sanding them down until they fit?

Rather mature in life but not ready to give up yet I have acquired my first buggy. Recently visiting Punta Cana I did the buggy tour and got the bug  Mind you their buggies was enough to put you off.
Anyway I am now the proud owner of a Zforce 800 from 2016 It was red  but now pink due to the sun but it gives me a project as well as the enjoyment of driving it.
