the shims you are talking about are supposed to eliminate noise in between the pads and caliper. in every front brake job ive done (several hundered) ive never used the shims. lexus is built well enough so if there is noise comming from your brakes its not because you didnt put shims in.

put some silicone inbetween the pads and caliper and you will never hear from those pads
