Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have never replaced brake pads before. I am replacing my stock brake pads with ebc red stuff pads. The new front pads come with a noise reduction shim on the back of the pads. My question is: Do I need to reuse any part of the stock shims when installing the new pads? The stock shims have 2 parts with tabs that fold over the side of the pads. The shims that come with new pads are just small squares on the back of the pads.

 

anyone?

 

use both if you want!

 

I just used EBC Redstuffs on my daily driver and I didn't use any stock shims. Just the panel of rubbery stuff that comes with the EBCs.

Take care though that my rotors were destroyed after 2 years with those pads. I suspect that when they're cold they create excessive wear.
