Brake pad longer than rotors (FD3S)

Just replaced my brake pads. Noticed that brake pad extend all the way to the edge of the brake rotors and a little beyond that. Is this normal? I've always saw the brake pads extend close to edge of rotor, but never beyond it

No, it is not normal but there is nothing u can do about it other than grinding those extra "lips" off.

Otherwise you will have a crap ton of brake noise.
