It is all the nickle-dime metal pieces that touch the brake pad except the thin metal shims. You may use PartsAmerica.com as a price reference, and they also have photos of these kits. Famous saying: One picture is worth a thousand words.

Not likely. The shims are the most important item of brake hardware as regards squealing. Blue Goo is useful too.

kingpin, check out the following:
http://grprete.jnet.net/Greg's%20Garage/1999%20Nissan%20Maxima%20SE/BrakeParts.htm

As you can see the first two items are brake kits (front or rear). You will note the rear kit comes with both of the factory recommended lubes (rubber grease (orange) and PBC grease) but the front kit does not.

Enjoy and hopes this helps.
