Just getting ready to install a set right now, and I just noticed there were no shims included. Do they not require them, or do I pull them off the stock pads?

 

I'm pretty sure i used the shims from the stock pads....

 

I got a brake hardware kit from the dealership.

Does the hardware kit include the shims? How much is it? Does it also include the hardware that holds the pad in? What about the anti rattle clips?

 

Courtesy.com has them listed for $19.01, and I think I paid a lil less than that locally.

It comes with shims and grease. No anti-rattle clips in the kit, but u can get those separately. Oh, and you get the guides that the brake pad slide on.

They have built in shims on the back apperantly, id still put on the oem ones with some anti squeal

 

That is what I did.

 

I used the old ones...

 

Please use some shims, ideally old ones or new ones from a dealer. I installed some PBR at 4 wheels without those shims, and wow what a screem along the life of the pads... It's worth trouble to find shims!!

 

I wonder why yours vibrated so much. Mine had a non-metallic part on the back of the pad. No metal-metal contact. They also state that if shims were necessary, they'd include them in the box.
