The springs go in between the pads on the guide pins. I ran `69 Camaro in the `70s with Factory disc before converting to drum fronts,I used the preload springs from a 12 bolt posi unit with a 7/16 washer on each end of the spring. You do need to keep an eye on pad wear and change them if they get close to coil binding the springs. I ran a full season with that set up and never had a problem. |

Re: stock GM front disc brake spring kit
I found some springs at the local hardware store that had a spring assortment. Used ones that fit the guide pin close, just enough tension to let the rotors turn freely.
