Pics look correct to me.
90-93 brakes are smaller than 94+
anyone got a picture of how the little W shaped springies go onto the rear brakes ?
or can look at these and tell me if correct or not ?

I'm converting a 93 to 94-96 brakes, and the misc parts kit I bought doesn't have new W springs (or whatever was used on those years) in it
got a different kit on order, but in the meantime, I put the old W springs on in the same manner as the 93 but it doesn't seem right to me
put the top one on so that the bottom of the W faces up, and the two legs of the W just sit inside the top notch on the pad backing plate
the middle of the W is laying on the pointed finger of the metal piece that the pads sit on
and, does anyone know if there are W springs on both top and bottom?
a 93 kit I have only had two springs and four of the metal clips the pads sit on
shop manual looks like only had a W spring at the top, but not clear to me
thanks

I think they are meant to help keep the pads from dragging on the rotors.
