I can't remember my front pads having the clips. There are some clips I installed, but I only remember on the rear pads. Everything you need (clips) come with the shim kit. The OEM pads have a wear slot in the center of the pad. When you get to near the bottom of the slot, it's time to replace them. Remember that pads have less heat dissipating ability when they are thin, so your rotors will get hotter, meaning they are more prone to developing an uneven pad residue on the surface.
