For a 93 Civic do you use oem shims with the AEM pads or do you need new shims?

re-use the shims. I'd also get anti squeak gel

I reused the shims on mine and its great. I didn't have anti squeak stuff but the brakes are still scilent

i always re-use the shims.. but i also apply the 'disc quiet' to the rear pads since they're usually the ones that make the noise..

what are the best brake pads for long life and good breaking? honda pads are aiight but i eat'em up too fast...i changed front and rear at 30,000 miles, then again at 50,000 miles, and then the fronts at 60,000 again

What do u do man? That seems a bit harsh. I drive the hell out of my car and after 36k of my dads driving and 20k of mine the breaks needed to be changed but they still had some life left. My driving included auto-x and many drives around back roads where I would actually loose my breaks due to overheating.

u went 10k on front pads WOW thats low. Do u have manual or auto. If auto I can kinda see how abusive driving would be hell on breaks but if thats on a manual then u need to learn how to downshift agressivly and break with ur engine.
