Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic Pads?
I bought a set of these today. There are shims in the box. Are these needed or can I go without them? Are the shims used as a anti rattle thing? Also, there's a tube of black stuff in the box. Is this lubricant for the slider pins?
Thanks,
Tyler

The shims should be used, as they and the black stuff helps to keep the pads from squeeling. Put a little dab between the shim and the pad. (That is, unless they put something with the ceramic pads different than standard pads).

The shims have what appears to be a plastic film on one side. You pull it off and there's adhesive on it. I'm assuming you press that on the backing plate of the pad? Do I apply the black stuff to the non-adhesive side of the shim after placement onto the pad backing plate?
Here's a pic of the pads and shims. I laid one shim on one of the pads.

I wouldn't put anything between the pad and caliper piston. I suppose they use the self adhesive shims in place of using the quieting goo.
I have no idea what the black stuff is you mention. Is there any labeling? Open it and see if it's a lubricant as you suggested, or glue type stuff.
