When you order new brake pads, do the clips come with them?

I just got calipers in the mail today from a salvage yard and one pad was missing, and a few of the metal plates that go behind the pads.

Do I just need to order new pads or clips/plates as well?

 

oem pads do not come with backing shims nor bracket hardware.

aftermarket pads may come with shims, but most likely not hardware.

use plenty of grease.

 

use the shims that are on your stock brakes.

 

Parts stores might sell them in a hardware kit

 

so the shims on my stockies will work? do i have to use some type of adhesive to stick them to the pads?

 

i dont think stock shims will work i got an 03

 

you don't need the shims

 

where can i get the hardware cos its missing.

 

ohhh... can I use the hardware that is currently on my 03 on my new 06 brakes???

 

Like i said, sometimes parts stores sell hardware kits that contain the shims, bolts, etc.

The brakes are different, so nothing interchanges. On the 05-06 brakes, there is a backing plate that clips on the pads, and two anti-squeal clips that slide on the caliper. The pads also have some wear indicator clips on them.

 

The backing plates you are talking about are the shims correct?

 

pm or call, we can sell you whatever you need for a great price,thx!

Yeah, i guess they are technically shims, but i don't think they are needed. I think they are more for noise reduction by offering a sliding surface when the caliper vibrates. When i did my brakes, i left the front one off since I thought a silver calipers and black brake pad contrasted nicely together. It's been off with no issues at all. I left the back one on though...because nobody sees it. I just made sure i lubed it well where the shim rode on the pistons and where the pads seated into the caliper "U-brace"

 

Nice... well I actually cant believe it but I think I do have all the hardware... hard to believe that didn't fall out of the open box as well... (thanks ups). anyway I painted my front calipers silver last night and I'm about to paint the rear ones silver tonight. I got all the rotors on the way and my new break pads are on the way as well! I will be sure to post pics when finished.

 

please do :] doing mine this week and wanna see results!
