Hmm very interesting those wings. It probably is for other cars as the pads themselves look right. The flat metal shims are anti rattle pieces and it has to be left on. Often times the pads and or calipers get gunk on and need some persuasion to get in. I've only had to file some pads down a couple of times when it was obvious there was extra material. Otherwise, usually some brake clean and wire brushes will do. Also caliper grease and or anti seize will help things slide in. Great job for a first time ! Our minivan also had a massive rear brake failure that I did not hear any wear down, and I managed a personal best of 45 minutes from literal start to finish and back rolling again this weekend. Having a quick jack is so awesome!
