[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 988163, member: 52972"] Sounds like a good idea, but how it will effect brakes is the unknown. If they don't pull the pads too far off the rotor, they should work fine. You should not get any rotor wobble since it's really not the pads that are keeping the rotor in line...It is part of the hub, bolted or screwed to the hub. At about $40 for a set of front brake clips, it's kind of expensive even if they do work. There are some newer vehicles that have No-Drag brakes, but I don't know if they use spring clips or some other means to keep the pads off the rotors? I think the key lies in the words "Reduced Drag" which probably means the clips push the pads back just enough to reduce drag, so that probably would probably not cause a noticably low brake pedal. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
