Drivers side XP12 pads. Top is the inside pad, bottom is the outside.




Passengers side pads. Top is the inside pad, bottom is the outside.

No time to jack the car up and take the wheels off at the moment but I glanced at them yesterday at the track when changing pads and they didn't look any better/worse than the outer surfaces.

Yes all the pistons go in with the same amount of force. I am using a spent pad backing plate to evenly distribute pressure on the pistons to push them back. It's a significant amount of pressure required and I use a big pair of pliers to help.

My BRZ is NA. The Sprint kit is advertised as sufficient for much heavier, higher power cars. I do brake HARD as you can see in my videos, but I can't imagine that my 200whp 2700 lb car is exceeding the Sprint kit's capacity.
