Groove

but not sure if okay to alter just any pads like that?

Yeah, before I go hacksawing my pads and end up in a wall just wanted to run it by the forum and see if there was any 1st hand experience with this.

yah, im thinking it might disintegrate if the hardness is not right. those pads (as you know) can get EXTREMELY hot.

That would be my worry. In theory, it should work (lots of pads have one or more grooves) but the pad may not handle the stress of cutting the groove and/or any extra stress created in use.

Personally, I'd get pads that are designed/manufactured with the groove rather than risk failure from a mod gone wrong. Brakes are pretty high on my No Experimenting List. Better safe than sorry.
