Default Brake shims

Just got my new Black Diamond discs/pads along with four pot calipers to upgrade my 2 pots, there are no shims in the pad pack and Black Diamond say they dont supply them, does anyone one know a part number for Subaru so I can phone them up to order the shims....they just ask for my vin number but of course all they would see is 2 pot calipers for my year of car..

shims are part of the oem brake pad 'kit'

I'm sure if you explain you need the 99- 4 pot caliper shims they could work it out. They're in the parts catalogue ( Section BR-6) as "Shim A" and "Shim B"
