The ones on the left look just like the thick shims that my carbotech pads have mounted to them, the ones on the right are the thin stock shims. ones in the middle - no idea.
I use both the left & right ones when running both street pads & track pads & everything works fine. have no idea why the stock thin shims are angled so the pistons work across the edge of them, i assume there must be some good reason...?

If in doubt, FLAT OUT
