theres a new clip to hold the e-brake shoes in so they don't wear out prematurly also. it comes with the e-brake shoes. if you have the old clips in there, have fun trying to get the rotors off. like i said before, i take good care of my brakes and everything works as if it was new. i'm using ACDelco performance rotors in the front, OEM rotors in the rear. i have the upgraded e-brake clips, using wagner thermo quiet pads all around, i clean the rust off my caliper slide mounts and use the GM recommended silocone lube everywhere and i have zero problems. its all who installs them. unfortunatly, the factory installs them like crap.

i considered converting the fronts, but you need to run 17" wheels and i just bought a set of 16" snow tires for the winter so thats a no go right now.
