The bushings don't seem to make a huge difference...we'll see how they feel on track. |
I installed them with Hawk pads and never really noticed a big difference. The pads are more noticeable from OEM then the brass fittings. About a year ago I was replacing my front pads and realized that one of the fittings had sheared off. Ordered new ones to keep it consistent with the other caliper. so far so good but I think if anything they’re just a little bit tighter than the rubber bushings. But negligible. One thing that I found odd but that is what FC P suggest is that the metal clip on the front calipers has to be removed. Which may have been the cause of one of the brass fittings shearing at the head.
