288mm brake measurement help?

[tweed]

Has anyone fitted new front pads on their 288mm in the last month or less?

I need to know the distance between disc face to the caliper face. does that make sense?

I want to buy some hispec four pots and need to make sure the four pots don't stick out further than the original 288mm caliper from the disc when they have new pads.

Can anyone measure that for me or post a diagram with said measurement please, pretty please

Tbh this time not really, the only measurement they show is: 288X25MM 5/100 I am guessing 25mm is thickness.
