Brake Pad Installation Question Anti Squeal Shim Install or leave out?
I recently bought some new pads "Raybestos Quiet Stop Premium Ceramic Brake Pads" PGD611QS and was wondering, do I need to install the Anti Squeal Shims. The pads I bought have one Shim attached to them already. There are a total of four on the old pads. Please let me know! Thanks everyone!

I did, OEM pads in my case and I used anti-squeel grease on the shims. I would use one shim from the old pads along with the new shim. Use the outside shims that was against the pistons/caliper if in good condition and in the same position. It's such a trivial thing to do to ensure quiet operation of the brakes.
