hiya all well i got my new blue print pads ready to fit with new discs on the rear of my almera .when i looked at the new pads they dont have a new shim plate. the shims on the old pads are rusted to nothing falling apart.i phoned up where i bought them from and they rang there suppliers and they said you dont need it thats why we dont supply it .just wondered if anyone else had this problem im wondering if i will have noise problems from the brakes if the pads have not got this one plate on them .thanks paul
