I was told not to bother with them, so chucked 'em out on first pad change. No squeal, no problem just coated the back of the pad with copper slip.

Hope this helps

Just had a word with my local garage (ex Subaru dealer) and they are getting hold of some shims for me (£5 a corner).

Private mail me if you want the contact details.

As I said, if you need details of where to purchase some, pm me and I'll let you have the details.

I received a set on Wednesday, fitted them over the weekend and all my squeaks, squeals and rattles have gone. Seem to have a better feel through the pedal now too, as the pistons were starting to create bunkers' in the backside of the brake pad!
