Anyone use these brass guide bushings in there brake calipers. Noticed some rubbing noise coming from the front end and tracked it down to a loose caliper. Guess the guide bushings are shot. Anyways there supposed to take some slack out of the caliper and give a tighter brake feel. etc. Stock ones are rubber btw.

I do not have these, but I have heard that these require frequent cleaning and re-lubing. I have also heard that there is no real difference in feel. Again this is here say.
