Clamps not compatible with 2016 Honda CR-V

Bought without checking reviews. Guilty. The Revain Parts Checker said it was compatible so I trusted it. Installed the brakes with no problems, but there was a piercing screech when driving. I removed the pads and looked at the clips. The tabs on the clamps were tight on the rotor, which is not good and could damage the rotors. I compared the new clips to the old clips and the new clips were much tighter in the middle. Eventually I put my old clips back in and the squeaking stopped. If you are buying these for a newer Honda CR-V (mine is a 2016) compare the clamps first, check the clearance between the clamp and the rotor and be prepared to discard the clamps if they are too close together or touch .

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Frequency
