Flipping Disk Pads - how bad?

Forum: 

Just given the front calipers and disks a bit of a clean, and in the process I think I swapped over the inner and outer pads on the passenger side.

Realised I'd probably done it when I did the other side. The pads look the same but of course have to be flipped top to bottom if you put them on the other side of the disk.

Running out of daylight, I decided to just leave it for now. My thinking was that it would probably increase wear and reduce braking force on that side, since the hills would no longer correspond with the valleys, but I thought they would probably re-bed fairly quickly, and it MIGHT have the benefit of flattening the disks/pads out a bit.

Brakes work, though there's maybe more rubbing noise. Only driven slow and havn't had a chance to do any test emergency stops yet.

If this is likely to be a problem I can either reverse it, or do it to the drivers side as well, for balance.

Opinions?

Change em back. !!

Personally I would never do this. And to be honest - if there are valleys and hills on your discs and pads - It is time for new Discs and Pads.

You can get them for a Decent Price on E Bay.

By For Now.
