Thanks 750.

Your dealer is feeding you BS. Of course the stock pad shims will fit the Axxis pads otherwise the Axxis pads wouldn't fit in your brake calipers. LOL

Aftermarket pads are made in the same shape and size as the OEM pads. That's like the dealer telling you that you can't use Michelin tires on your car because it came with Bridgestones.

Since it doesn't seem that your Infiniti dealer is helping you, you can try getting the shims from a nissan delaer, or call one of the online Infiniti parts dealers (Grubbs, everythingg35, mynismo, etc) and talk to them to order the shims for you. And use some anti-squeak lube on the shims.

As an example of parts department incompetence, my local Infiniti parts guy told me that the cone bushing on the a-arm is part of the a-arm and is not sold separately. I went to the Nissan dealer and ordered the cone bushing by itself. I didn't have to get the entire a-arm.
