front bake pad shims 91' acura integra ?
 

the front brake pad set comes with 3 shims for the front brake
pads.
1 large shim for outer pad and 2 smaller shims for inner pad.

Dilema... both inner shims were installed on the previous
installed pads with the large shim on top of the smaller shim.

is that correct ?
if not, then how does one decide which of two inner shims to use
?

thanks for any useful advice,
robb

The current arrangement is correct: The smaller shim is UNDER the bigger
one.
