Has anyone else noticed pad knockback with the sport brakes? This would be applicable to the sport pkg. brakes only, as the Akebono calipers are fixed vs. the floating calipers on the non-sport models. I could swear there's just a tiny little bit of knockback. Nothing major, mind you (although the effect would be magnified with larger diameter rotors). I'm used to double-tapping my brakes anyway because I had huge knockback on my 350 when I ran a StopTech BBK. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this -> StopTech : Balanced Brake Upgrades
