Mech, thanks for that info - i didn't know there was a system that pre-loads the brakes after knockback. Sounds genius, but I wouldn't want it on my race car... automation is scary - especially when it is made by dodge!

Come to think of it, my pads have springs, too... they offer about 6-7 pounds of force (estimated, thinking back to my last brake change), which is definately not enough to push the pistons back.
