Got a few question/problems:
1) I am having rattling in my front passenger brake. It's a light rattling over uneven surfaces. I did some research and seems like some aftermarket pads rattle. Anyone has/had this problem? I have Akebono front pads. I didn't have this rattling before doing the swap and I'm sure nothing is loose on the caliper because I double checked the torque specs on the bolts holding the calipers to the knuckle. I am using the OEM pin and metal clip for the front as well.
2) Is this normal? Seems like the rear pad doesn't cover the entire rear rotor (Stoptech). I went to autozone thinking the IS350 pads were bigger than the IS250 but they said it's the same part. I am reusing my rear IS250 pads. Are there bigger aftermarket rear brake pads?

I experienced brake fade and dtv. Replaced to EBC usr rotor with EBC red stuff pads. Pads better but still not good enough. Might try the toms brake pad next. Brake fluid Amsoil Dominator 580F dry 410F wet car is FBO
