you can buy them seperate, but I wouldn't bother. I've been running with no shims for about 8 months...they squeal every now and again, for the first 3 months.

*patiently wait's for Mike to chime in*

I know the PBR/Axxis Metal Master pads say they have integrated shims on their pads.

if u have ur stock shims, keep them on it'll cut back on brake squel. Any time of noise squeak on my car pisses me off, its all preference.
