Abstract
A disc brake assembly arranged to be mounted over a rotor. The disc brake assembly includes first and second brake pads, a caliper having an opening for receiving the first and second brake pads, and a spring member for retaining the pads within the caliper. The spring member has a pad alignment feature arranged to prevent the spring member from being properly assembled on the caliper when one or more of the brake pads is inserted with its friction material facing away from a rotor receiving region of the caliper.
