Default Got my HAWK HPS, missing shims?

I just got my HAWK HPS pads for 92 Civic rear and 99 Integra fronts. The civic rears look to have a shim attached on the pad for both the inner and outer pad. However, the Integra ones have a shim on the outer pad (with the wear indicator) but on the inner pad there is not a shim. The 99 front swap did not come with pads so i'm not sure if they have them or not. I'm assuming there is a shim for both inner and outer.

Can someone confirm what shims i should have for the 99 Integra fronts (HAWK HPS)? Thanks.

You probably aren't missing any shims. Some brake pads won't have shims on each pad, no real worry.

Although i would like to note, that the wear indicator should be on the inside pad. A properly working honda caliper will always wear on the inside quicker, unless you have a stuck caliper pin.

For the front pads, since the caliper sits on the front of the rotor, the indicator should be on the inside at the top. For the rear pads, since the caliper sits on the back of the rotor, the indicator should be on the inside at the bottom.
