944 S2 brembo question and issues.

[rufusgti]

Hi
I picked up some Brembo front pads for my 90 model 944 S2 today and had a go at fitting them.
Strangely they are too long to go in. I'd say they're around 5mm too long, yet looking at my old pads it looks to me like they've been ground down with a grinder. I've taken some pics so hopefully someone who knows these cars may spot an issue. I can't find any other pads listed for a 90 spec S2.
As you can see I don't actually need pads as there's plenty of meat on the old ones. But the earth lead to the wear sensors had pulled away from its earth point. That's now fixed but the cable that sits on the pads fell apart where it mounts to the pads annoyingly. So I will need one of those and hopefully my pad wear light on the dash will disappear.
Can anyone help with why the new pads don't fit.
Thanks
Rufus

After a bit of research it would seem I have "plate lift" where corrosion lifts the plates and leaves less room. Hence the pads that have been ground down.
The only real fix for this seems to be refurbishing the caliper.
So next question, which of the many companies that refurbish calipers are the preferred ones.

Oh great thanks for the recommendation. I've already checked out their website and they sound like they no what they're doing.
What kind of cost am I looking at?
Cheers
