Default Rear pads - no new chatter clips - WTF?

I bought a set of rear pads and was going to install them on my F-body this weekend.

I opened the replacement pad package and there are no replacement chatter clips. Is this normal?

Unless they are factory GM pads, it is normal. GM includes them with new pads (at a premium price, and that's for the OEM pads only I believe), but nobody else does.

When I got my raybestos pads for the rear, they were included. When I got my Hawk pads for the front they weren't included. Go figure.

I want to say I was able to buy a "kit" of them at my local AC Delco dealer, but it has been a while. Last time I swapped them, I re-used the ones I had.

my hawks didn't have them front or rear...used the old ones and everything is fine.

Very nice pads btw, very low dust and minimal noise (might be less dust than the stockers)
