I installed my DS2500 pads (front and rear) last night. The rear ones didn't have any issues with installation. Although, I had to take the oem shims out since I couldn't close the caliper.

The front pads, though, gave me some issues. Even without the oem shims, the calipers did not want to close. I didn't get a chance to check my rotor thickness but I've used it for 2 years with numerous autox and track days. I had to get off maybe 1mm of material from the guide pin to get it to close.

Did anybody have this issue? Thanks!
