Rear Brake Pad V-Spring
I have a quick v-spring question. Is the spring supposed to go facing a certain direction? Does it matter? It looks like the FC manual shows it on the leading end of the pads. I just wondered if it matters.

Ignore my ninja edits, I was getting confused looking at the pictures for a second.

Makes sense to me, if the leading edge is sprung the rest of the pad will trail away, while if you spring only the trailing edge the leading edge will lever back towards the rotor and the edge could catch, especially if you have slotted rotors.
That said, I've been running my car on the track and street for like 7 years now and never even knew the rears were supposed to have springs, and have had no problems.
