Sport Brake Pad Shims
I bought a set of akebono calipers from eBay. They are in good shape for the most part, except the shims on the rear pads are missing. The only place I can find that even carries a kit with the shims is z1, and the kit is $120.00. is there a cheaper source for these? I can't bring myself to pay that for a few stamped pieces of steel. Does anyone have another source for these

I was going to ask about leaving them off...
I've done replacements before and always used the shims. How bad does the rattle typically get if I leave them off? |
