ok. my VFR

just changed the back brake pads..

old pads had metal shims on to stop the brakes squealing I presume..

should they be transferred to the new ones? or just put the new ones on..?

there does not seem to be enough space even with pistons tight back to put the shim and padding on too?

so should shims be on ALL brake pads or not ?
