Wow,
I'll post that to the list. Like I said I've never let mine wear down that
much but if the backing is thin enough then the piston would bottom. Sounds
like a design problem to me as it will cause the brakes to stop working.
Then again they put that plastic crap on the brake lines too and supposedly
that killed a few people.
Check you brake pads for wear everyone.

I have to disagree - from personal experience. They are positive stops. I
know this because the pad still looked fine, but the pistons were bottomed
out. Made for interesting braking. The backing is a tiny thin sliver of
metal on a Roadster - when compared to the more conventional type pads. The
outer part of the piston bottomed in the notches.
