EBC Redstuff Brake Pads - Fitting Query?



  Skoda Octavia VRs
I bought a set of EBC Redstuff Front Brake Pads to try out, replacing the EBC Greenstuff Pads I currently have on my 182.

Can anyone advise me whether the (removable) thin Steel Shims at the Upper & Lower inner faces of the Brake Calipers should still be used with these pads?. I gave the Calipers / Discs / Pads a checkover & clean a few weeks ago and the Greenstuff Pads were REALLY tight against these Shims, and I think this may have been a cause of some of the 'binding' problems I have been having over the last few weeks.

Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions regarding this matter, it is very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Take all the shims out and don't fit the crappy rubber back that comes with the pads. Just grease them well.
