Art, you say you are using factory brakes. including pads? different aftermarket companies will use the same brake pad backing but different pads mounted to them including pad size. You may want to match up your pads with one that has the most surface to hold against the rotor. The other day at my dealership I removed factory pads of a Chevy HHR, and the aftermarket pad was much larger then the factory piece but same backing to fit correctly in caliper bracket. Many aftermarket pads out there will probably produce different pads w same backing. what model is your race car. I will see if chrysler offers different pads for your application. Chris.
