If you were thinking about leaving off the caliper spring..

Nathan, don't you have the SCE bolts on the rears?

I'm thinking that's what the difference is.

[R/T93]

Yes, I do have SCE bolts, could very well be. I am not against springs I just dont have 2.... lol

Does anyone have a pic of them on a 1G? I've only done one brake job and I'm curious what you guys are talking about.

SCE bolts don't exist for 1G rears.

Sorry I meant to say the spring or clip or whatever. I have the SCE bolts for the front and as you said, no luck for the rear on a 1G.

The rear is a sliding caliper. How would stiffening bolts apply?

Guess I should have worded it differently lol Maybe no go for the rear caliper

[2fnloud]

I haz stiffening bolts in the rear calipers

[B-Man]

It's the pad retaining/spacer spring. It's shaped like a cross on 2g rears. Cant remember the shape on 1st gen.

From the phone.

1Gs don't have them in the rear.

Least read thread, ever.

That anti-rattle spring is critical for your sanity. Roll your windows down and roll the car back and forth and you'll some ridiculous clunking. With the cross shaped spring in place there's no clunk. The pads will also migrate if your pistons aren't stuck so you'll get the clunk during nearly every stop without the cross shaped spring. I lost a couple of those springs (brand new, they just didn't want to stay on) so I had to bend them a bit further on the hooked end to keep them on.
