From memory, they are pretty tight at original spec. Certainly, you can have issues getting some of the thicker pads (EBC for instance) and new discs in at the same time - can bind slightly. Ah right no problems thats ok then, was just concerned that we are grinding off friction material that could...

Anyone got a car in bits or available to do some measuring up for me ? ...what im after is gap between disc and caliper when pistons etc are fully retracted so i can see if a thicker than 'book spec' pad can be made :) Cheers Ian Group Buy on Carbotech Pads here - http://www.scottishelises.com/phpbb...

Perhaps if Ian at Carbotech was to p...

Do you think he'd do that?

Maybe .... what sort of money are the Pagids at these days out of interest ?

Ian @ Carbotech

Just fit something maybe more suitable to the hard use like Carbotech XP8 :) while ive seen the XP8 pads show some slight surface cracking after hard use ive not seen any performance drop off even when down to rivets, last week i was changing a customers XP10 from a Time attack Evo as they were down...
