Anyone have spare shims for brake pads?

[laz1e]

Does anyone have spare shims for brake pads? For some reason my driver side has 2 of the same ones.. so one side is facing the wrong way. I was just wondering if anyone had any extras I could have or buy off them?

[laz1e]

common guys... these sometimes come with brake pads i believe so someone should have some spares... im willing to pay for them. otherwise i gotta ask the dealership for them and then i gotta wait a few days for them to get it

People usually reuse their stock ones. Try buying some off lancershop.com or dealership.

Call up RRE. Â*I remember I lost 3 of mine and they had some sitting around.

Oh cool, did they just give them to you? Or did they sell them to you? I'll give them a call tomorrow. I'm new here but im assuming RRE is that Evo shop that I see people posting about once in a while. I'll try and find their number in a bit. Thanks for the info

Yeah, I have my stock ones but for some reason my driver side has two of the same ones... The arrow is supposed to point in the direction that the wheel is going but both of mine point the same way so when you put them on, one points the wrong direction. I don't know if that is going to be bad or not but I want to find a replacement just to be safe. Ive been driving the car with it like that (because I didn't know) and it didnt seem to have any problems. The brake pad did have more wear than on the passenger side though but I don't know if thats because of the shim or not.

Maybe the installer swapped one of the shims with the other wheel?

Would you or anyone here happen to know if the rear shims are the same as the front ones?

How are these working out for you? Did you buy the front and rears?

I'm happy with the Girodisc shims since they cover more surface area compared to OEM's and i think they're cheaper than OEM's as well.Â* Oh, don't need to spend the big $$ for the titanium shims unless you're doing road racing duty, plus the titanium shims are loud. Yes i got the fronts and rears.
