facemonster Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Do the spacers need to be on the pads? New pads are too thick and the pistons are all the way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Terry Posted November 3, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 3, 2015 The spacers are there to insulate the pistons from the hot pads. The only problem you will have is more brake fade when you are racing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facemonster Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 That's going to be a problem then. The new ebc pads are just too thick and the pistons are flush. I may have to try galfer or another pad manufacturer. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facemonster Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Even with backing plates removed the pads are still too thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facemonster Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hahaha, I think I'll try some galfers first. Thanks for the confidence in my meager skills though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted November 4, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted November 4, 2015 Are they they right pads? Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I ran into that with mine. I don't remember what pads. I just ran them without the insulator for a bit and then slipped them in. Too lazy to research and order new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facemonster Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Turns out they gave me the wrong pads. Ebc fa261/2hh are too thick. The correct part is the fa261/hh, those fit just fine. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
