If you don't reverse the calipers so that the smaller piston hits first,
you'll experience very uneven pad wear. I initially did not swap the
crossover pipes because I had someone else install my brakes- because of
this, after a few track events, the front pads were less than 2mm on one end
of the pad, while the other end was 8-9mm. That's pretty bad. After swapping
crossover pipes, I did not have any issues.
 Anyone know a good source for a nice pad spreader tool for Brembo calipers?
