Default Front/Rear Brake pad wear indicator tabs

Quick question guys:

Going to change my front an rear OEM brake pads with Delco ceramics this weekend and want to know will the wear indicator tabs be positoned in the up or down position in the caliper on the inboard side? I am assuming the down position for the fronts....will the rears be the same ? or up position?

Or it doesnt really matter?

I always install them with the 'tab' up.

Default Indicator Tabs

Just finishing up front and rears, pads and rotors on mine this evening. Put mine to the inside and down as thats where they were when I removed them. I used Delco rotors and Delco ceramic pads.

Thanks for the inputs ....

Think I may go with One Kicks...set the rears in the down position also...

I guess it really doesnt matter what position as long as its on the inboard side since the pad wears a bit sooner than the outside pad. From what I have heard.
