I just changed the rotors, pads and brake lines all the way around my FD. When we took the rear calipers off, neither caliper had the "v-spring" in it. Doesn't this help seperate the pads when not under braking? Is it ok to run without this "v-spring". I'm not even really sure where it hooks up, but I did see that part in the service manual, and not on my car. Any help/advice?

 

Its to help reduce chatter. It is not needed. If you have it, then put it back in. The hooked ends go into the little holes on the brake pad.

 

Thanks!
