rear lt1 brake question
i just got done putting my rear together... but had a slight set back.... those huge weights on the rear calipers for vibration control hit the LCA relocate brackets so i had to take them off... i just wanted to know how important these were... or if i could leave them off... keep in mind this car isnt daily driven.. but does get highway driven from time to time... if i need to ill grind a flat spot in it and slip it back on...

So helpful. 
Brandon, can you snap a pic of what they are catching on?
I know you have a aftermarket rear and all...

They don't really serve any braking use, they are for NVH as far as I've ever read. So chatter/noise is probably how any issue will manifest if it matters. With a modded car all NVH bets are out the window anyway. Drive it and find out. So yeah, helpful enough.

I'm not entirely sure. Pad/brake noise I'd suppose. I'd not expect any kind of vibrations

Nah piece of cake to cut them. A cutoff wheel a die grinder and a steady hand. Took about five minutes.
