brzskids: yes, they come that way. You don't need "backing plate shim" with those. But you need those shims/clips where "ears" of pads move in caliper (if not reusing/reinstalling those, then pads will rattle around).
Also, if old pads were worn down a lot, you may need to press in pistons a bit, and check after changing pad (and pressing in piston) on each corner brake fluid level. Thicker pad -> deeper pushed pistons for pad to fit in -> fluid level will rise. After 2nd-3rd-4th pad there is possibility for fluid to overflow (if it had been topped to normal level with old, thinner pads), if you don't remove excess fluid with eg. syringe.
