I went ahead got z32 brembo oe and hps pads for the front. This will be my first time actually replacing the pads myself. Do these pads come with shims or do I need to reuse the ones that are already on the other pads? I know simple question but first time doing brake work...

Running no shims is no problem.

Next time just ask here, http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=297481

I usually just reuse the shims after cleaning them with some brake cleaner and wire brush. I use them just cuz they seem to help with brake screech.

I didn't run the factory Z32 shims and had crazy break squeal. I bought new shims and installed them and it's all good now.
