Received partial delivery of my new P3 pads and rotors.

Let's play a game of "can you spot it" and see if someone can spot a difference in these 4 pads? 2 are still in the wrapper and the other 2 are loose. Good luck! 😁

It's fine...only one inboard pad on drivers front uses 1 sensor and one sensor for inboard pad on passenger rear.

Yeah I understand that part.

What concerns me is the notch area where the pad is looking brittle. Seems like they manufactured the backing plate in the wrong orientation.

After the pad wears down, that part of the pad may be susceptible to further damage due to uneven distribution of pressure? What do you think?

TBH. if you get that low on the friction material to hit the backing plate.... lol time to change pads or if you mean that notch long line area of the pad wearing faster than the rest of the pad face I wouldn't be concerned as the main middle part of the 2 seperated sections of the pad is the larger contact face to create the friction needed to stop.

Also this pad compound is aggressive but durable from what I understand, lol the wear with the paragon grooved rotors will always cut an even face on the pad under hard braking..it shouldn't be "brittle" where chuncks will come off.

Or I am talking out of my ass and not sure I understand what your asking,.....lol

Haha I would never run it down THAT low!

More so the possibility that the pad bridging over the notch area would become a weak point under heat, vibration, pressure.

Regardless of it all, I payed for it and currently in email contact to get a correctly made product replacement. Don't really feel like being a guinea pig for bad QA, especially on a piece that my life could depend on lol

Now we'll see if their customer service can exceed their product reputation. I have received only 1 email reply to the situation so far acknowledging that it is pressed on the wrong side of the backing plate.

LMAO...I didn't notice that, I'm blind.

FYI rotors are the same with GR Supra.
