About a month ago I had new pads and discs fitted to my vrs allround. Just today I noticed there is quite a big gap underneath the front pads, I took a photo of the drivers side one, the passengers` one is the same with just bit smaller gap:

Looks like it`s creating a little groove in the disc as well..

Is that normal?? Or should I take it back? The car brakes fine but to be honest it could be better with those huge discs..??

edit looks fine lol

Are they standard discs & pads?

That's what my Tarox pads looked like when they were fitted.

Just to set your mind at ease they are just fine.

The edge of the pad is chamfered, this helps with bedding in plud cuts down on noise.

Can't be too bad as the rest of the disk is not all rusty!

Oops looked at mine and they are well bedded in so are flat over whole surface, that explains the gap in the picture Forgive me if I alarmed you but if unsure on brakes I would always get them checked

Again, all is fine

Thanks for the replies, they are standard discs and pads (at least I wanted standard lol). Does it mean when they bed in properly there will be more contact between the pad and disc creating more braking?? :confused:
