Default Anti-Rattle shims?

Are they required for brake calipers? I am upgrading my rears and the ones that were on it are broken and cant be re-used. I am using EBC Green Stuff pads and they didnt come with new shims. Where can I buy replacements if I need them?

not usually for rears but if you do get pads with shims, make sure they are integrated into the pad (riveted) otherwise they will slide off over time and cause more headaches than they're worth.
