New ProX Bigfoot Brake Question

G'day guys my ProX turned up yesterday and I have managed to put it together without any issue (didn't come with any assembly instructions) but I do have a question about the brake pads.

Both the front and rear pads needed to be installed and on closer inspection there are two type of pads. One set has about 4mm of material and the other has about 6mm and all 4 pads have the same part number.

My initial thoughts where that the pads with more material where for the back but once they are installed into the calliper it’s impossible to get them to fit over the rotor even with the pistons pushed back into the housing. So I ended up installing one of each pad on the front and rear with the pad with the most material on the piston side of the calliper.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

- Ian
