Brake accessories?

When replacing the pads and rotors do you also have to get new clips, screws and shims? or can you just use the old ones?
Thanks

You can reuse any parts that are not damaged.

I would get the new shims. They usually rusted very badly.

Where can I get shims? Everyplace that sells Hawks/Powerslots doesnt sell shims. Can I just pick up a generic set from autozone?

My Quietstop came with self adhersive shims, so I don't really know how others are. I would recommand you get the brake hardware kits (including inner, outer shims, and pad retainers) from dealer or any on-line nissan part store or DaveB. Some aftermarket hardware kits do not fit very well.
