I know this is a mudane and redudant question but I am going to attempt to replace my rear brakes pads/Parking brake(1st time) and would like experienced advice. I went to the FCP Groton website for pads and they listed them "w/ or w/o IRS", what is IRS and do I have it. My rear brake calipers are ATE, does the IRS refer to the Bendix? Next, does it matter what pads I get? I went to International Imports Specialist website and the had the PBR pads which I was thinking of getting but noticed that the Dan-Block pad had 45 degree angles on their pads which I heard was reccomended. Does it matter? Anyone know what size bolts used in securing ATE caliper? Same Q with shims, I have a metal and Teflon ones now, can I replace them with any generic brand shims? Do I use the brake cleaner on everything but friction surfaces,i.e. caliper pistons, discs/rotors, etc.? Also the caliper pins, are they all the same size? I am replacing them too. I have the anti-rattle springs. Thanks for bearing with my questions and your info is appreciated.
