Steve about the set of springs, that is interesting to consider. You could probably design around a very stiff spring that is "relaxed" so no force when the pad is in contact with the disc and would interact with the pad once it is kicked back. Then again, you will applying a minute amount of force during cornering on the working wheel, slowing it down, but not affect straight line speed. Or you could just left foot brake on the straight to see if your pedal is still there.
I will try to find the thread, it was a video of Leh Keen and he was left foot tapping the brake in a lot of places, and the reason was to get the pad on the rotor so that he would have a firm pedal at the next brake zone, instead of having to use up his brake travel getting the pads onto the rotor. It was very interesting.
