how did you tweak the caliper?

If everyone wants to put in a buck, I will take the time to rewrite the brake/caliper and seafoam diy's...
otherwise I dont have spare free time, so you will have to look thru the threads to learn the procedure

SS brake lines? any idea how much they run? eh Ill just use google lol thanks thought!!
stainless steel brake lines, the wont expand under pressure which gives u a firmer brake pedal, excelerate and MrHeeltoe sell them for about $110-$120 for the fronts.

It does rub on some cars and is not required

Caliper with R goes on driver side! L on passenger side
prefill the calipers with squirt can of new brake fluid to remove as much air as possible.
Will save an hour of frustraton and trapped air bubbles later!
Thanks! I got it. I only need to use the new calipers and the new slide clips in which pads slide in when pressed by the fingers of the caliper. I was wondering what that center V-clip was for. Really couldn't figure out its real function. I will just leave it out then. Thanks again.

Lol- I meant, I tweaked the "V CLIP" or whatever that piece is called, to clear the rotor. No noise since. And those things were on the calipers to begin with so I figured I'd have some pad rattling noises if I didn't use them.
