(Not a FaceBook question;)

Sooo, after a long infirm, the pig is back (pics to follow sometime
soonish.)
New top end, turbo rebuild, new and final clutch (new dual mass with So.
Bend clutch disc)
New hood and front end respray (oh yes it does look awesome) and new ebrake
cables... spark this question.
Part of the issue with the dam rear brakes is the dam springs go weak and
also corrode.   I am thinking (yes) that if I get some 1mm or so inserts
from mcmaster to cut and insert between the spring coils, maybe, just maybe,
it will remove enough friction to allow for the brakes to function for a bit
longer time before crapping out?  Is 1mm a good thickness?
Enquiring minds want to know.
BTW, not that I'd want to, but if anyone is interested in purchasing this
renewed mechanically perfect RS2+ pig for $20k, I'm all ears.  Help me get
that GTS!
