[Fot] Spit/GT6 Race Pads

[fubog1]

 Another point to consider re pad selection, & I don't see mentioned, is make sure that the pads have the correct taper ie backer flat down, the profile of the pad side should taper down towards the center of the disc/bottom of the pad to some degree, a trapezoid with the long side up, ie not be rectangular shape.Reason is that a lot more heat is generated towards the OD of the disc, & they'll wear more; having less friction surface towards the bottom of the pad w/a taper evens the pad wear, & it won't develop the other form of "taper", that usually requires that 1st brake pedal stab as the rectangular shaped pads do as they wear.
This applies to all TRs.I've also seen many cases where "interchanges" don't consider the shape of the pad, although the pads are dimensionally correct & fit.
