Brake hardware kit + PBR Brakes. Help!

I'm getting my stock pads replaced with PBR Deluxes. Does anyone know whether the stock brake hardware kit (shim, anit-rattle, etc) that I currently have will fit the PBRs?

Also, is it a bad idea to reuse the old hardware kit when replacing your brakes?

Factory hardware almost always works with aftermarket pads since the backing of the pad has to be cut a certain shape. Unfortunately the factory backing shims usually fall apart after X amount of times being heat cycled, getting wet, drying out, etc... Some pads include their own set of backing shims. The stainless steel pieces that the pad "ears" slide in are almost always reusable, at least in my experience. Anyways good luck.

on what has already has been posted...I cannot forsee any reason you'll be needing any additional hardware.

Who's doing the install?

Nevermind guys. I wasn't sure and decided to get it just in case. Called all over Jersey looking for this freaking hardware kit and no one except Somerset Nissan had it in stock. Just got back and dropped off my car.

MM- Local shop is doing it for me.

Thanks for the info.
