Default Posi Quiet Brake Install

I am a Bona fide newbie. I took my rotors in to have them resurfaced and also purchased a Posi Quiet disc brake system front and rear. When I took the rotors in, I marked them front and back passenger and driver. But I got them back a They completely removed all of my location descriptions and now I don't know what goes where. Does there exist a step-by-step instruction as to how to install the Posi Quiet disc brakes. Now I know this is really going to get you; where do the big rotors; go on the front or the back? Now you know how bad off I am.

I don't know what Posi Quiet brake system is, so can't help you with instructions. But as far as the rotors go, the big thick ones with ventilation vanes in the center of the disc are your fronts, and the smaller ones are the rears. The rears don't matter left or right. If your front rotors have swept vanes, then the proper side is the one where the vanes sweep backward from the direction of rotation when the car is moving forward.

ETA: It looks like the Posi Quiet stuff is just the brake pads? If so, just look up basic brake pad replacement procedures. I'm sure there are some good threads here on this forum.

It looks like you've a '96 from previous post so the fronts will be directional. A local auto parts store or maybe the shop that did the rotor 'resurfacing' can help.

Thanks for the help. Yes I am only installing the pads, however there are two clips and an H shaped thin shim (?) and it not clear where they are placed.
