Delphi pads are b@ll@ks

Both front pads, metal shims/ anti rattle thingy bobbys had slid towards the disk, they seem to be stuck on with a poor glue, any hoo, pulled the backing plates off but will get some new ones at some point and they wont be Delphi !

Perhaps the last track day at Knockhill didn't help

Ah, you mean crap bollocks as opposed to 'the bollocks'

Nice!

Most off the shelf "normal" pads are "fine" for road use, on track every weakness is exposed, brakes normally first.

At least the pad material did not fall off the backing plate!

No but that happened to my last set of Green stuff pads, they were shitey also, took too long to get heat in them so were bad for road use, the Delphies are quite good for normal road and did very well for the track but I wont be getting them again because of this. The green stuff pads had a rubber backing plate which was better.
