Well the answer is no, not yet. I broke the brakes in and didnt break anything.
I just got done installing new rotors and pads. I only pushed the piston in barely enough to get the caliper back over the pads. Now it feels like they are not releasing all the way. I am reusing my old springs. Is this going to be an issue?

Nice knowing you. Say Hi to Hendrix for me.
I've always used the old springs and haven't had any problems.

I used old brake hardware last time I changed em, in fact I ran a week or two without any brake hardware and it was fine just noisy. I'm not even using springs right now just the clips and backing plates.

The springs are only there to prevent iritating rattles when the pads are a bit loose. They have no effect on braking action.
