• And never underestimate the performance advantages of making sure the caliper is centrally aligned over the rotor, then balance the pistons. If one pad hits the rotor first, hold it back using the opposite pad and a flathead screwdriver, and advance the opposite piston. Repeat on either side until both pads contact simultaneously, without deflecting the rotor. A properly balanced brake makes a resounding "ting" noise when the pistons have been balanced right, and it works a lot better
