Hey guys,
Just replaced my rear brake pads and noticed a few unusual things, wondered if these were common place or if you could provide comment on them:

1. There were no shims on the pads despite my Haynes manual saying there was.
2. The inner pads were worn much much (much) worse than the outers.
3. The handbrake doesnt seem to take up as well now (ie needs more "clicks") (I would've thought it would've been better if anything at all - since pads are no thicker)

Thanks
Mike
