going through the pdf from Factory Five, "trim the clip vertically so that it fits" referring to the metal clips, is confusing me. Can someone please show me a picture of how and what that looks like? Not sure if it helps, but I have the 8.8 narrow rear end with the supplied brake kit from factory five. How do I trim the clip to fit correctly?

Is it supposed to be flush at the bottom or top?193495193496

It should be flush at the bottom.
You may have to grind the metal backing on the brake pads to get them to fit end to end in the calipers between the metal clips. Mine were too tight to fit.

after an hour of struggling with mine I finally researched it and realized this, honestly I just used a hand file and kept taking them down until I could fit them in without too much struggle.
