I paid $79 for a set of fronts at Pep Boys.

I'm happy with them, no noise, no dust but...

I have a little problem with the adhesive backed shims that come them. The shims are installed on the outboard side and one of them has shifted and bunched up, looks like schit.

I've tried reapplying some adhesive, no dice.

Got a call into Raybestos, they are going to try to send another set of shims.

Be aware, clean the pads surface well before applying the shim.

Good luck :cheers:

Tom

I have the same problem...
Have you tried running without the shims? Is it just too noisy? Of course, with mine gathererd like they are, they squeal anyway...
