Couple of brake questions

just bought some new brakes havent put them in yet; just preparing for when my brakes are ready for replacement.

never encountered rear pads like this but all three of the springs here need to be clipped onto the piston right? because the pads i have on now are not, only the big clip on top is in.



Also has anyone ever used these guys, they worth it? seems a lot for a bunch brass bushings and steel rods.

yes, all 3 springs need to be around the piston.
stock pads along with aftermarkets should all be similar...

easy enough to install, start on one side and kind of glide it around each until it's clipped in place.


i have those caliper bushings and they work well.
