Rear Brake Pad Spring?
I tried the search but could not find this.
I just replaced my brake pads with Hawks. They work great but after I finoshed, I found I had neglected to replace the V shaped spring that mounts to the side of the pads on one side. It looks like this is supposed to keep the pad off the rotor until the brakes are applied. Is this item absolutely nessesary?

Of course, you can't just buy one spring. I probably have one I can mail to you. If you want it PM me a snail mail address and I'll dig it out. Does your car have the vented rotors or solid rotors in the rear?
