Aftermarket brake anti-squeal shim kit options

[Liudas]

I have a problem with squealing brakes (new rotors, pads and brake paste in correct spots). Anti-squeal shims are missing on my car.

There is a OEM kit for front (04945-24010) and back (04946-22030). Unfortunately I managed to find the kit only for back and looks like front kit is discontinued.

Is there any aftermarket anti-squeal kit available for front brakes or direct fit from another model? Maybe there is specific brake pad maker where they provide shims with the pads.

Rock Auto has a lot of inexpensive aftermarket options.

Thanks. However, those I have (metal pieces on which pad slides). What I'm missing is shims.

Most Supra's don't even use those anymore and most mechanics / shops remove those within the first brake job or two. When you get your new brake pad it should have a metal shim backing on it already and if it still makes noise clean all the the brake caliper surfaces super good and load those sliding pins with tons of grease. CRC makes some good stuff for the back of the brake pad that dries kinda rubbery.

Are you are still using part number 47748 (2 spring clips per caliper) and what type of brake pads do you have?

The pads are from Textar (http://textar.brakebook.com/bb/textar/en_US/2137601_402/datasheet.xhtml). The springs are in place, however they are old and tired. I guess it won't hurt to replace them anyway.
