    It’s done been fucked
    I don’t know if anyone has asked this but I can’t seem to find an answer.
    Is there a reason Toyota’s 4pot fixed calipers only have one spring on the pins from the factory?
    A lot of brake pad kits come with top and bottom springs yet Toyota only uses a bottom from the factory. I’ve never felt a difference between one or two springs.
    Any answers?

    Just an ant rattle spring that sits at the bottom, it doesnt change wear properties.

    Venzas and siennas etc use 2 but honestly I wouldnt over think it.
     
    Kev250R and shakerhood like this.
