Here's the problem.
I have 2 '91 300zx calipers.  And a front pair of EBC brake pads.
The pads fit perfect, but, I feel like I'm missing something.  There are 2 holes on the pad that correlate with 2 holes through the caliper.  Am I missing something that goes in the holes to hold the pads on, or HOW DO THE #### THINGS STAY ON?!?!?!
The pads are kinda rectangular and... they're the correct ones.
Help me please!

Ok.  Can anyone tell me what a caliper shim is?  I apparently need a disc hardware kit, and I checked carparts.com and they had shims.  WTF is a shim?
Also, why does UPS take NINE #### DAYS to ship my conversion lines!??! UPS SUCKS!!!

I remember changing my old Zs brakes. You need a new shim kit every time you change the pads. Although I got away with using the used shims. Once you get them you should be money. The Z brakes are reaaal ez to replace.
