No experience with a Sprite but why does it matter?  Each piston comes =
out as far as it needs to to press the pad against the disc.  After that =
they both press on the disc with equal and opposite force.  As long as =
the disc isn't rubbing on the caliper I can't see the problem.  It's not =
a Jaguar, Ferrari or Maserati where such things might be desirable.

     Ira, I have always used the measure-shim-measure method. The goal =
is of course, to center the rotor on the caliper.
