The pads with dimples do indeed go on the inside and not the outside. If you look at the piston it has two slots cut into it forming a +. When you install new rear pads one of the things you need to do is screw the piston back into the caliper. Once that is done you need to make sure the slots are lined up such that the dimples rest inside the slots. If you fail to do the line up the pads will wear very unevenly and may not work at all. The screwing in of the piston is part of the E-Brake functionality of the caliper. The dimples are there to keep the piston from twisting inside the caliper.
Hope that helps.

It's been a long time since I've heard something so stupid been expressed so confidently!

There you go, thats a start, Include some facts with your insult.
1 dimple or all 3 doesn't "really" matter does it? They stop the piston from rotating.
Ever put your rear caliper togther w/o lining up the dimples & piston? Thats a recipe for brake drag.

Ladies, ladies - PLEASE! You're both beautiful - let's not fight.
1 dimple - 3 dimples; blah blah blah...
...
Screwing in the piston is the biggest pain in the *ss! Is there a secret tool for this?
I use this funny angled screwdriver thingy - it works pretty well; but I'd rather use something that I could hook up to an air ratchet... Mmmmm - air tools.
I bet if someone decide to make something for this application that they could pretty easily sell it. All of the honda's I've owned have the "+" rear piston.
Should I make a new post for this?
