.:R Brake retaining clips issues

(1/4) > >>

swf7y:
I recently upgraded to R20 brakes (same as R32/S3) and am having trouble with the retaining clips. They are a pain in the backside to put on as they scratch the paint and also, I have had two sets fall out as I'm driving.  :fighting: :fighting:

I'm pretty sure they were put in right as there is only one way they will fit! Wondered if anyone else is having similar issues as they are not cheap to replace anymore but look so good when they are in  :drool:

h4rdy:
The ones I fitted to my unfitted calipers don't seem to fit in the hole on the pad properly and only sit on the pad clip.

The original type sit in the hole.

Could be this, if it is I will put the originals back on.

stealthwolf:
This is odd. Both SteveP and richwig83 seem to have had no problems with these.

scooba:
I have a pair waiting to fit but if there are issues I aint sure if to bother, they look good fitted

swf7y:
What hardy said is bang on. They sit on the top and I guess the start to come loose, especially under hard braking. Hopefully others who have had them fitted will give their views.
