Evoballa,

I've succesfully been using these peel and stick shims from porsche 993tt big reds on my EVO running mean race pads - they are about 90% efficient. Right now I'm not running them and I can't stand the squealing from my new race pads. Only drawbacks - some shims might get unglued after serious track sessions, it's not a perfect fit (spring needs to be spread a little so some effort is required to pop them in), they seem to be a one-time use, and they cost me $7ea x 8 = $56.
