Default Clips on brakes?
I have a 2003 xk8 I am putting new pads and rotors on. I noticed the rears have those wire clips around the calipers/pads, however, my fronts do not. They have the holes for them, but no wire clips. Should they have them, or not? Anybody else not have them?
Thanks

Yes, I also have a 2003 and it has the little wire springs. Someone changed the pads and forgot to reinstall them.
