Author Message   Kruizen Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 05:48 pm:        What's the purpose of the perforated clips on the back of the front brake pads?   Chessm Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 08:26 pm:        im guessing its to quel noise   Jdugger Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 08:30 pm:        The thin perf SS bits? I'm honestly not sure. Not all pad brands have them.   Kruizen Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 08:55 pm:        Yeah those perforated pieces. I just realized I forgot to put them on the new set of pads, and was wondering if I really needed to?   Spike240sx Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 09:00 pm:        No idea what pieces your talking about. Care to throw up a pic?   Jdugger Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 09:54 pm:        For what it's worth, I don't run them, and never have except on the pad brands that come with them... I think EBC. The higher-end race pads don't have them.   Nuts4mc Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 12:32 am:        see here - EBC web site: http://www.ebcbrakes.com/brake_noise/noise_shims_b rake_pads_bed_in.shtml   Kruizen Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 06:42 am:        Thanks nuts. Interesting info.   Smoke4ndmears Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 06:58 am:        Interesting. All this time I've been swapping the shims over to whatever pad I've been running.   Kruizen Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 07:00 am:        That's what I've been doing also, till this time.
