Man I hated those things. Some people just take them out.

i payed 60 for the clips, pad shims, and pad set that i wanted so bad.

Now I'd rather do so than listen to them drag against basiclly warped rotors on the interstate.

Someone could snap a picture through their rims.....(shady)

they should be easy. they go ontop the pads and if they are anything like the 01-03 brake setup. just squeeze them together and the slip in the little holes at the end of each pad. there should be a opening where the pad is notched out to fit onto the caliper.

once you see it, it should be obvious then. ill try to search for some pics.

Why would you take the top and bottom clips off completely? When my bottom antirattle clip went missing somehow, it made a constant annoying clicking sound.

So, I just painted my calipers and took them all off. I should have taken some pics, but too late now. Anyway, they can only go in one way I think. The bent part of the clips goes to the outside. If you put that end on the inside they will scrape the rotors. You might want to try and put them on the pads first to get the orientation, then put them on the calipers. Sorry I dont have pics.
