UPDATE:
Just installed the Ferodo pads on my bike (after a few hours of measuring and head scratching). I was having issues with the brakes dragging. I measured the pad thickness in reference to the few month old EBC pads that were on there, and they were very close. The back of the pad, where the caliper piston hits the back of the pad, is a little bit more raised on the Ferodo, making the pad stick out a bit further than the EBC's. This didn't seem to be much of an issue, however, as with the piston totally buried inside the caliper, there was plenty of clearance and it wasn't mechanically binding once the caliper bolts were tightened. But it just didn't appear that the piston pad was retracting as normal. So, I removed the calipers again, and measured the diameter of the Ferodo pad vs EBC pad and the Ferodo pad was about .10mm larger. So, I was able to shave off that .10mm on my bench grinder, very carefully I might add, and tested. No dragging. The tolerances as the wheel spins are still a bit tight, but the bike seems to roll the same as before and does not drag nearly as much as before. I've got about 3 miles on it in stop and go and brief bursts of speed and it seems to be ok. I'm thinking as the pads bed into the rotor, the clearance will get a little looser. So, we'll see. I'll report back once the set up is broken in.
Oh, no peep by the way. Quite as a mouse. . .
