I just installed a Turbocoupe rear in my Mustang, so this whole disc brakes concept is a bit new to me. I have taken apart the rear calipers and completely rebuilt them. I got a new set of pads from the parts shop, but when I went to install them they *barely* fit in without the anti-rattle clips (not a chance with the clips installed). Doing a bit of a search on this board, I found that this has happened to other people. The solution given was to grind down the edges of the pads a bit so that they would fit. Now they fit great with the clips in place (thanks guys). My only question is how tight are they supposed be? I left them pretty stiff because I figure that this will help prevent pad squeal. Is this a good idea, or am I just going to cause my pads to drag?
