What are you guys doing when swapping brake pads for the track? When I went from stock to Carbotechs I had to compress pistons. I winged it with some channel locks and a rag to protect the piston and caliper. When I swapped back I didn't have to compress anything because the stock pads were thinner than the carbotechs. Do you guys recommend a compression tool of any sort?
