When changeing the brake pads...how many are installing new brake pad shims and shim covers? IF you replace these where are folks buying the new shim and shim covers?

Thanks.

 

i am confused as well..... as i have searched , some people installed new pads
without stock shims, some with .... not sure it's a must or just an option...
my brake shop installed (project MU, hawk hps pads) without stock shims and my brakes are squealing...

It's up to you. I don't bother with my racing pads, but for street use, I'd use the stock shims. They are not required, and it's not a safety issue if your shop left them off.
