[DeTomaso] Stoptech rotor scrape

[Mike Drew]

They were probably too large and blocked by the system. 

They showed the caliper offset dramatically towards the inside of the car, so much so that the bottom of the caliper was grinding a groove into the bottom of the friction area on the outer surface of the disc, closest to the center of the disc....
