Rear brake / pad question - does this look normal?
I just bought my C32 less than a month ago from a dealership, but maybe 3-4 hundred miles on it since then.
I was doing a once over of the car yesterday and noticed my rear brakes. Does this look normal? I was expecting more of a distance between the rotor and the caliper. I'm assuming the piston is pushing that brake pad out far enough that the caliper would never hit.
Thoughts? No brake warnings on the dash or anything, I'm assuming these cars have wear sensors - someone might have tampered with them. Any guesses on how much pad life is left there?
