Brake pad thickness!
I bought "Posi Quiet" ceramic brake pads. (fits RX8)
links here : POSIQUIET - Centric Parts
Yesterday, when I was replacing new pads,
I couldn't close caliper !!!
So, I will grinding pads thickness likes OEM pads.
But I don't know OEM pads thickness
Anyone knows OEM pads thickness? (Front and Rear)
Edit* My pads are 16.5mm(Front) 14mm(Rear)

Rear caliper's piston which has winding holes so that can compress.
But, front are doesn't have.(hollow piston)
How can I compress front piston?

They press straight in. Use an old pad for a shim. You can use channel lock pliers, a C-clamp, or a cheap brake tool.
You can also put the whole assembly back on and use a screwdriver or pry bar.

The rears screw in, and have notches that align with a tab on the pads for the parking brake to work.
Edit* The rears can be screwed in with pliers, but it's easier to use the proper tool.
Many auto parts stores rent them for free with a deposit.
Note the tabs on the round adapters that fit in the caliper recesses.
