Yep. Google images shows the original type with spring and the new ones without. I'm wondering if I should snip the spring down to get some tension.
Are you sure they're the right pads?
I've only used 2 designs where there is no spring: Magura MT8 and Hayes CX mechanical brakes as found on GF's PXLR (not sure if stock). In both cases, the piston is magnetic, so they pull the pad away from the rotor.
