Default Re: Brake springs

The brake springs do make a difference in the return of the shoes and brake pedal return.
Snyder’s springs used to be the best but they recently changed their springs as there were complaints they were too stiff. I use the brake spring helper tool available now I believe only through macs and it helps on stiffer springs. I purchased the remaining Stock from Snyder’s so at this point all the newer springs are nit as food in my opinion. It does make a difference.
Some of the other supplier springs are weak. The short springs are the key to good return.
Of course well rebuilt roller tracks and rollers are key along with the other components as well.
