Sorry but have to vent

I to bought the same kit, but I had no problems correcting the paint on my car with the 6.5 inch pads and 5" backing plate. As long as I don't oversaturate the pads, the 7424xp has no problems keeping the pads rotating. I found for the roof, hood and trunk, the 6.5 pads work fine, but prefer the additional firmness and control of the 5.5 pads for the sides of the car.

I agree:

Basic 7424xp kits should include a 5" backing plate and 5.5" pads. Moreover, they should include the $3 65 gram counterweight (6") for less vibration. They could include glazing pads and applicators at 6.5", and larger kits could include a 6" pb just for that purpose.

Didn't know there was a different size counterweight depending on the bp you are using. If I am using a 5in bp with the Griots, should I get a different counterweight?

As soon as I got my GG, I swapped out the bp's and slapped on 5.5 inch pads but I don't know how much vibration is considered normal...
