thanks! So it just goes from the top middle of the one brake pad to where though? Just the edge of the other pad?

There's a hole in the backing plate on two of the pads (one for each side of the car) where you insert one end of the spring (this is shown in the picture on the right, in the right pad), then if I remember right, the other end of the spring just wedges into the cavity in the caliper. I know there was a thread on this back in February, but I haven't been able to find it. I might have more pictures if you need them.

Good! It's nice to be able to actually help someone now and then, instead of just gleaning information from everyone else.
