This has happened to me twice now with two individual rotors. The first time, I installed my track pads and brembos, and on the rear right rotor (iirc), about 1/4'' of the very inside of the disc surface (closest to the hub) didn't contact the pad at all, and I only noticed this once rust started building up and turned slightly orange (a thin orange ring)

I thought it wasn't too major, but I have now reinstalled my stock OEM pads, and stock rotors, and the same thing is happening, but on the rear left rotor now. It's happening with a slightly bigger width, and on the very outside of the rotor surface.

I'm suspecting this could be the a slight problem with the clips? maybe they're not seated 100% into the caliper?

any input would be very helpful. thanks.
