    I do my rear pads like that. Danny suggest that to me almost 10 years ago. It also helps when you put the rear wheel back on.

    Almost worth doing it, for that reason alone.

    use a bench grinder if you have one. if not, you can rub them on the sidewalk and get the same result, just takes a little longer. you will bevel it so that when the brakes are engaged, only half (or less) of the pad is touching the rotor.
