Ah, Switchblade, I see that you do have them, but mine are a different compound (FA388HH). Perhaps the more aggressive pads come with the heat spacer?

Not necessary. You can run without them.

Thanks, that is what I was hoping to hear. But, just out of curiosity, do you know what their purpose is on the stock pads?

Which pads did you install? EBC pads have them .

Thanks for jumping in!

So question about changing the brake pads. My stock pads came with a metal bracket attached to the inner pad on each side. I didn't realize this until I was cleaning up. What is this, how important is it, and should I dive back in and attach it to the new pads?
