How does something on the back change the squeal on the front? Also, with such a little plate has anyone actually done independent testing they reduce caliper heat soak?

They do have tabs, and personally I'd suggest the thinner one so you don't have issues trying to squish the plate + a new pad into there (or have to try to shave down your pads),

A lot of the squeal really isn't from the mating surface, even though it sounds like it. They did objectively reduce heat back when I first tried them (sport calipers + CT pads). I use them now on the front of my Stillen kit, too (different shape).
