Default Wtb PAD ABUTMENT SHIMS

Found out the shims that allow the brake pads to float in the caliper are only available from the dealer with a set of pads.. Oh boy... now what do we do when i only run Hawk street pads and PFC or Cobolt race pads..
Anyone have some in their closet? need a set of front and rear for a 2008 C6 caliper..

it is item #2 on the exploded view of a caliper repair kit.

going to ask the mechanics at the dealer tomorrow if they have any in there spare part drawer..

never know.

I have a few sets lying around from when I had factory calipers. Send me a PM with contact info and I'll see what I have and let you know.
