After reading an 8/5/03 brake question regrding shims and all of the replies, I'm wondering about shims too. Do these come with new pads? Are they a separate item? After the trouble that original Nissan brakes gave me they're the last brand I'd buy, so what do the aftermarket pads come with? MAYBE, the mechanic that put in my semi-metallic pads didn't use the shim goop and that's why I have squeal! Worth investigating before spending another $50 on pads with these being only 6000 miles old. Opinions???
