Hey Tony, that's an interesting hypothesis, I did notice that these seem larger, the 'backing plate' anyway than other new versions I've seen, thought it might've been the color and an illusion, but due to the way they set up / sit inside the caliper with the pin and all, if they weren't snug I could see how they'd slide around while floating, and clack... I've got a bunch of Camaro 530 / 533 calipers around and will test fit these - not sure I have a new offshore AutoZone or Kragen set, but I could go pick up a set and compare... might be worthwhile to investigate... might take me a couple of days, but stay tuned.
