Default Re: RotorPros Group Buy

I've searched here, the old site, hyundaiperformance and hyundai aftermarket, but can't find what I'm looking for. Where exactly are the brake shims supposed to be on the pads? And are there four or just two? The reason I'm asking is that I just got new pads and rotors installed, but there is a vibration when braking. I got out and looked, and I can see the shim on the outside pad on the rears. I wasn't sure if this is correct or not, I also checked webtech, and only saw the shim on the front brakes. Any help is appreciated.

shims go on the pad that is against the piston of the caliper. im pretty sure there is one for each corner.

i know exactly what you are talking about too.i forgot to put my shims on the fronts, and it was wobbly. it gets MUCH better when you put those shims back on.
