Should I keep in or remove the brake shims when installing race pads. My pads fit in fine with them in place, so there is no clearence issue. I'd rather leave them in so the swap back to street pads is quicker. Is there any harm or negative effect to leaving them in with race pads?

The shims I'm talking about are those with the clips that actually go into the piston, not the sticky shims that are basically part of the pad.

Take them out...they do no good with race pads in...they do not even fit with Pagid pads anyway

 

mdrums are you going to be at Sebring on Saturday?
If so, do you think I can request you as an instructor? If not, can you recomend a good Porsche instructor?

 

I will be there for Saturday only. Yes you can request me as an instructor...I'd be happy to instruct a fellow 6speeder!

Take care, Mike Carter
