When you buy a new set of brake shoes does the springs/retaining clips/adjuster usually come along with them (ie. new as well)?

I bought a set of shoes this morning and had to re-use all the old springs etc which were very very rusty.

Not only that, the place I bought them out of swiped my card twice so I have been charged for two sets...

No Brain... Depends where you buy them, But any I get I used local auto-parts stores and never get them..

I'd say if you bought them off the main dealer you might get them..

And I know FACT, Mercedes dont do them with Brake Shoes, there 'optional' at extra cost.

I know sometimes before I've been given the springs and clips along with them.

Awk well so long as they hold them in place. All cars should have 4 wheel disc brakes, much simpler to replace the pads than fiddling with those stupid springs etc.

No they don't usually come with the springs/adjusters, but Apec shoes come with new lock washers to hold the shoes in as when you pull the old ones out they usually get bent out of shape and not able to be used again.
