Boov Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I replaced the rear brake pads on my '99, and the old ones had a couple of extra pieces of hardware attached to each of them. They look like one part is for anti-vibration, and the other is for air flow for cooling maybe. Should I keep those parts in there with the new pads? I got really basic, nothing special pads and I'm still using the stock rotor. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My calipers wouldn't open far enough to clear the rotors with the spacers in there. I removed them and everything works perfectly fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't retract the pistons far enough to make them fit, leave them out, and come back in a few hundred miles to stick them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
