    Where do the shims go on my brake pads

    If you buy Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic pads, which I recommend, you don't even need shims. Otherwise, the shims fit over the metal backing plate to the pads. When you remove your current pads, it should be more clear.

    Do the shims just go on the inside brake pad
