There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Brake noise "growls" in reverse

Details!
Just one bolt, or both? What size spring? Great idea; just worried spring would prevent pads from working when pads are worn. Huge complaint; noise horrible! PM me any info. I don’t have a older Spyder to play with, but as I beta test, my clients love free stuff!! Thanks! Joe

Brake Springs
As CAPTJAM mentioned when the pads wear down to the point that the spring is fully compressed, you won't have any brakes. So use fewer coils and spread the coils out so that the pads will have to really wear out. It doesn't take much spring pressure to retract the pads. I did this "fix" on a 2008 GS that I had a couple of years ago. It sounded like killing pigs in reverse, tried several fixes and the springs stopped the problem. :yes:

I thought the brakes were designed to make that noise to let people know you're reversing;-)

Just in one bolt is enough, and just keep an eye on the spring when pads are worn:thumbup:

Depends
With the right spring you should have no problem. With the amount of pressure you can get out of the calipers you would crush the spring as the coils slip past each other probably to a single coil thickness....mind you using the right spring.....but before that you would need new brakes anyway.:dontknow:

Thank you!
Thank you very much for the tip to silence the banshee. I just purchased a 2008 GS, that was one of its most annoying issues.
