Be careful with those Eldorado rear calipers.

> From a Mustang site:
Here is some important maintenance information about the rear Cadillac 
Calipers:


If you are using Cadillac ElDorado rear calipers there are some important 
things you should know. One of the biggest advantages of a disc brake system 
is the fool proof self adjuster. Not so with this rear GM system. The rear 
calipers adjust off the parking brake. The parking brake is incorporated 
into the caliper. You must set the parking brake every time you park the 
car. The rear caliper pitons utilize a one way clutch inside the caliper 
piston. When the parking brake is applied the clutch senses when there is 
.030" or more clearance between the friction material and the rotor on the 
inboard side. When there is more than .030" the clutch turns inside the 
piston adjusting it out keeping the rear brakes adjusted. If you do not set 
your parking brake every time you will start to lose brake pedal (low and 
spongy) and the adjuster mechanism will not work any longer. Also: never use 
rebuilt calipers on the rear because the rebuilders use the old pistons and 
the pistons were the reason the caliper failed in the first place.
