Backing shims - re-use?
Some while ago I replaced the pads in the Brembos with DS2500 and re-used the backing shims that were on the original pads. As the Ferodos had a backing glued(?) on to the back, I've a feeling that maybe I should not have used the original shims?
What's the word on this?

ds2500's do NOT have any adhesive backing on the rear??
as for shims then simply clean, re-grease and use the stainless steel items orifginally fitted

yep that the s/steel ones i mean, the angled shims...........
as for backing i have been a Ferodo Racing agent for the best part of 15years and they have NEVER had any adhesive backing or shim on the back

I just replaced the OE pads all round, in MY07 RB320 with PF pads supplied by Alyn 'stockcar'
I cleaned the SS 'anti squeal' directional shims and re-used them, arrows pointing up!
