Now I looked at the other caliper on the other side and theres only one clip there. Should there be 2? Because I could only figure out how to get one on there, and that one puts pressure on the inside pad holding it steady, but nothings holding the outer one. Any info on this would be great.

I have to push the pedal much harder to get the car to stop like it did before. and yes I did bleed the new caliper. Pumped the brakes until brake fluid came out of the bleeder valve. So something must be wrong with that clip or something.

Even without them you should not have an problem with brake feel - that's not what they're for. They keep a slight pressure on the pads to that they don't vibrate and cause squeals and rattles. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
