I replaced front rotors and pads (StopTech) a couple months ago. Fairly simple DYI. I’m finally getting around to doing the rear. I’ve had no problems until I went to drop the pads in. The OEM metal shims don’t fit the StopTech HP Street rear pads. The little tabs on the left/right on the shims don’t fit in between the pad and top weight. (The OEM pad had a gap between the pad body and the metal weights that the shim tabs dropped into.) So, I’m not sure if I should leave the shim out, or should I clip of the tabs and use them?? Has anyone else had this issue with the StopTech pads?
