Hey all,

I had my 6 piston Brembo brake calipers powder coated. Upon reassembly, I noticed that the piston boots won't sit flush no matter what I try. I've seen some Youtube videos experiencing the same, and just going with it. Has anyone run into the same issue? I just want to make sure it is safe before I put it on. Any help or insight would be much appreciated! (See pictures)

Looks fine to me. Here's a pic of brand new calipers I just put on the car.

They are not perfectly flush. On mine, the pistons were recessed a bit inside the boots across the board.
