Do the Axxis pads use the stock shims and all hardware or are there anything else I need with them?? about to order them, just don't want to find out I need some piece that they don't come with. Anyone know a cheap online site to buy these pads from?? thanks

I don't have shims on mine and they work fine. All you need is the pads and they will fit right in. I got mine on ebay for $85 for all four.

I bet one of your brake lights are out.......the light doesn't have anything to do with the brake pads.

usually you need to grind a little paint off the tabs that fit into the brakets that hold them, you should be able to do it with some sandpaper

It's probably the plunger in the master cylinder. Pull it out, make sure it has fluid on it and slide it up and down for a bit. Then put it back in.

I actually took my car to the dealer and this is a noted problem. Usually they will replace the cap, but since mine was out of warranty he just filled it up and it helped.
