The strangest thing is that the stainless shim is cheaper that the "normal" one (made of steel I suppose).

That's not the main difficulty for me.
The problem is that I am not sure (I don't know) which one fits my calipers

Any of the 2, both???

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

Shims aren't available from Volvo anymore.
