starsea Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I just picked up some front pads for my 2003 OBW. They are from O'Reillys. They are the Japanese ceramic ones. There are no shims or clips in the box. Is something missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I believe if you want the parafanelia you gotta go pay big bucks at the dealer. I don't do that new of cars, or Oreily's or ceramic. But the Wagners and Bendix and in an absolute jamb Advance's Godl and Silvers(limited knowledge) all come with just the pads. Usually the old stuff cleans up well though. I remove them to file behind them anyways. Usually some scotch brite, brake clean, and sometimes a file or screw driver to remove old anti-seize is all it takes.

Fairtax4me Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Shims rarely need to be replaced, so they generally aren't included. Anti rattle clips should usually come with new pads though if the car uses them. They're basically like springs that hold the pads in place and they should be replaced with the pads because they tend to wear out with age and the constant cycle of hot/cold that is typical of the brake system.
