I ordered a BAT brake kit for a 95 Contour that I never used. In May I installed it on my daughters 97 Mystique - the parts bolted up OK, but the front brake pads were just touching the outer diameter of the rotor hat - caused real problems on the (short) test drive (smoke and squealing).
I replaced the rotors with a set I bought from Autozone and no problems. The outer diameter of the Autozone rotor hats was visibly much smaller than the BAT rotors.
IMHO I would be cautious now about buying those cheap BAT brake kits as it seems BAT sold me the wrong front rotors ââ?¬â?? the kind of mistake that really shouldnââ?¬â?¢t happen with a specialty vendor like that.
