I just bought new shims from toyota. There is one black shim and one silver shim per pad. Toyota has NO idea wich one goes on first. Please help me out.

Just follow the same way they laid when you took the pads off.

The car didn't have them on it when we got it so i never saw how they were supposed to be. Anyway i found what i needed on mkiv.com Thanks

AH I just did the job you are taking about!
In the rear the black shim touches the back of the new brake pad and the silver shim lays ontop of the black shim(make sure you use the grease they supply with the shims in between the pad and shims!) HINT: the Arrows on the shims should point in the direction of the tires rotation!
THe front pads only should have silver shims, one per pad, so Eight big silver shims for the front brakes.
The rear pads have black and silver shims like you already pointed out.
Hope this helps let me know if you run into any problems installing them. [email protected]
