hi
i have a 96 civic dx and i was busting out a curve at like 60 and slide on sum gravel then hit a curve. i replaced every thing i had to except for one of the metal umm...(shim?)(the metal piece that goes on top and below the brake pads. i was wondering if u have to have the shim or not

Anyway, you're going to get told to keep it off the streets and stop being a jackass; so I'm throwing it out there before 20 people say it.

For whatever part you're talking about, go to http://www.slhondaparts.com and look it up so we can see what you're refering to.

If it's the spring / shim on the brakepads, the pad may be loose in the caliper and make alot of noise without it.

 

Its clip b, pad (not shim)

 

Link or part number?

 

if u go to the web pg u gave me its under front brakes and its #11 which says clip b pad

 

You want those, they hold the pad securly in place.

True. I have gone without them though, and it sounds like your suspension is about to fall off with all the banging around the pads do.

 

yes you do they come in the brake hardware kit from your local parts store
