Get rid of this.. it traps heat in the rotor. Works great on the street.. No racing caliper has a spring clip, your caliper doesn't need it  (7+ years of not running them)
I just noticed something else in this pic.. buy the factory clips for the pad pin!!

Ok Brad, I hear you. New pads, new rotors, no springs, and factory retaining clips!
See you at Fontana!

Dude, you kill me.
Just so everyone knows, my good friend little "t" qualified 1st and won the Boxster Spec race at the California Festival of Speed today. He pretty much decimated the field. I qualified 4th and finished 5th (of 9 cars).
Tomorrow, we have another race in the morning and an optional race in the afternoon so stay tuned...

I don't know, I think the Volvo will be pretty competetive on the track along side the Porsches.
Especially with those stone impregnated slicks I see you have. 
I saw another volvo racing with the Porsches already http://youtu.be/Czfn3tgcofM
