[s-cars] Rear caliper rebuild question

photos. I remember when all we had was plain text emails... the bar setup I
used was weak for the application now that I see how beefy that spring is.

ironic, I just did mine on Saturday. Unfortunately I can't comment on the
spring situation as the 5000 calipers I was working with don't have said
spring. Are you using the write up on Audiworld (or was it audizine)? It's
fairly comprehensive. With plenty of pictures.
