Default Brake kit Question

So I am looking to replace the rear Rotors and Brakes on my 14 Panamera as I'm getting a shaking when braking. I just replaced the front and it was not the issue, I am looking at FCP Euros brake kit and I see that they're including a anti rattle clip set and a pad shim. Do I really need these? I saw in most videos they do not replace these items.

It depends. If hearing yiur brakes squeal on your $100k+ car is acceptable, then I suppose you can cut corners and save a few pennies by re-using parts that were designed o be consumable.

It's not often that the rear rotors contribute to shaking when braking, but possible. Did you noticed improvements when you changed the front? Shaking reduced or the same? I'm suspecting bushings

I have zero brake squeal, they're not bad now, why replace what isn't broken.

I'm honestly not sure, I think it improved a little but it may just be mentally. I had suspected that the rear where the issue, but I took it to a well know shop who said start with the front. Is there a way to check the bushings without taking the wheel off?
