I personally always replace shims because they rust, etc. You can use the ones that came with your new pads or get OEM ones, but some have found that to not be ideal in some cases. i have used the EOM and akebono shims with no issues. i would just get a shim kit and deal with it. For what you will pay in shipping from Sewell for the one item, you could just buy locally at retail if that is all you need..
