When I did mine (2000 S) I cleaned the front shims, but some "anti-squeal" on the backs, put them back in, and then installed the brake pads. On the backs my shims (a different style) were missing, and I did not get new ones (major $$$ and I was in a time crunch). They have been fine, and I have heard of folks not using the front shims either. And I think they base may not even come with shims.
