A true precision shim is not universal but exact fit. Oem shims are tuned via slots and thickness and multi laminates to reduce noise with oem pad compositions ONLY.

Sure they will fit but the noise reduction will probably be wrong or different with different pad compositions.

Watch out for the words "oem style or oem fit and finish"
