Great info gmblack!
I used your pictures for my install last night. I put on PF 01 compound pads for the front only. Some observations: I did not take out the pad retainer, once the caliper were rotated out of the way, the old pads were lifted out easily by hands, the new pads went just as easily. I didn't use any goop material. I also changed fluid to Motul 600, I know I should've gone to a dealer with a Tech II, but even mixed with the old fluid from ABS, it's still better than stock. Did some high speed stops to bed in the pads. There were some squeaking sounds, but PF told me to expect this with race pads. So Im not too concerned. I did notice that ABS went on sooner when I did the panic brake test. Is this normal? Is it due to the new pads grabbing with more force?
Thanks,
