Talking Do aftermarket pads come with shims/indicators like OEM? AKEBONO PROACT815

just wondering.
If I buy the AKEBONO PROACT815 front pads. Will it fit using the OEM shims and those bracket/holders?

Also, do they have the "sensors" that starts to squeak when the brake is pretty worn?

Lastly, anyone with any experience? I understand they are ceramic. And I do live in Denver where the temperature gets below freezing. The OEM's were fine. Would these be better or worse for me?

Aftermarket pads should have built-in squealer things, and should be able to fit oem shims.

my HPS pads for the fronts didn't have any wear indicators, at least not the traditional tab kind.
