Ok all of you guys who have put rear disc's on your 14 bolt, Are the rear brakes tight after you put the calipers on the rotors?? Mine are, am I doing something wrong? I'm using Eldorado calipers & disc pads.
 
Can you turn the rotor by hand? If you can't, you'll more than likely warp your rotors due to the heatbuild up if you drive it this way.

When I put my Caddy calipers on, it was SO tight, I couldn't budge the rotor. I took the caliper off, then used my concrete driveway to sand down the pads.

Remember, the e-brake adjusts the caliper piston. If you sand down the pads, work the e-brake lever a few times to seat the pads.
 
It does turn, but it is hard....... I don't have any brake levers, was waiting for Harry & Sean to come up with theirs. I've tried GM Parts direct, they dont have them anymore. Any ideas???
