Brake Shims- do they come with new pads?

I tried to figure this out at the parts store and they were clueless. I do not knwo what they look like, so I am not able to look in the box and determine if they are in there. So I am asking here:

Some do Some don't

The OEM from Nissan do not. You have to buy a brake hardware kit that includes shims, pad retaining clips etc.

The Raybestos Quiet stops that I bought came with shims and some antiseize

Get the parts store to open them up for you, or see if the Mfg has a separate part number

Like he said, some will. I bought some from Auto Zone that had the shims and some anti-seize. Ask the clerk to open the box and you will see if they are in there
