Yes that's the secret sauce for brakes that just won't shut up. Don't need shims...probably what was causing the noise in the first place especially the clip on type.
Shims are most-definitely needed. Almost every modern car has factory-installed brake pads containing shims.
My 92 Toyota pickup front disc brakes were double shimmed from the factory. After market pads I bought came with clip on shims. Low speed squeal that would not go away even with moly paste between the shim and pad. Threw the shims in the trash, applied disc brake quiet, and now my brakes have been quiet for over a year now.
Now tell me why I need shims?
