I need those thin metal shim type things that go in the calipers, I believe there are 4 total and they help keep the brake pad aligned. Thanks.

Levi,

Are you talking about the thin plates that clip or glue to the back of the pads?

If you are talking about the thin flat metallic anti-squeel shim, then it usually comes pre-attached to new pads. I dont know where to get it seperately.
