Do all of your backing plates cover the disc edges?
Mine do and I think the ceramics should be protected

Old thread but I may be able to answer this. I was going to replace one of the shields this year and was pleased when TPS told me the price had come down considerably (£200). However they lipped the other way and did not cover the edge at all! I think these are an R8 part and looked nice/shiny and fitted perfectly but defeated the object so I returned it and had mine fixed.

Hello Homer, my standard A8 ones lip the other way, I always thought a strange design. Your photos are not loading - it says google access denied, I presume you can see them as you are signed into your account.
