Help! '69 Camaro factory brake setup

Chevy454 · 09-04-2008, 03:13 PM

I've got a '69 Camaro, bbc w/auto, factory front disc/rear drum setup...my question is for some of you old school guys (read: pre-Wilwood). How can I eliminate the drag on the front/rear breaks? Someone told me of an extra spring on the rear drums to pull the shoes away...and someone else told me to add a small spring between the pads on the front, or even take out the clips and let 'em rattle? I know my fronts are dragging a tad, but the rears may be also.

Any help is appreciated!
