   Shims on disc brake pad?

   Usually the manufacturers claim in their catalog this the shims reduce   
   noise. How is this so? The cheapo pads seem not to have them.   
   Anyway when changing brakes, I often find it is a tight squeeze when   
   fitting new pads and rotors together, so I rip the shims off to gain a   
   quarter of a millimetre more clearance.
