More problems with self-adhesive brake shims... 900 1993

If any of you have recently installed front brake pads with self-adhesive shims, you might want to check 'em out and make sure the shims are still in place.

There was a recent thread about the same problem: 945 slipped brake pad shim/rotor damage (photos) - what went wrong? At that point, I had just installed new pads & shims (made by Beck/Arnley, sold to me by FCP Groton)... everything seemed to be working OK.

Couple days ago, with just 600 miles on the new pads & shims, I had the front wheels off, and yikes!



The backs of the pads were clean & grease-free when I stuck on the shims. Both sides looked like that. I called FCP and emailed them the pics, and sent them the link to the previous thread... hopefully they'll stop selling those shims.
