PM replied here, and on Vortex ;)
BTW you can get alignement shims prestty much anywhere, but they are just for alignement; They are plastic rotationnal wedges; they can do the job, but I personnaly had a few of them crack on me. (It was my track day car, so it saw good spirited driving...)
I make them out of billet 6061-T6 mat'l , provide the longer screws, and can make them to your specs, and can be made thinner, to be able to stack them.
This gives you the ability to try different set-ups with and without stacking. And the added width make up for the required clearance on top of the wheel, if you plan to run bigger negative camber.
I can also rotate the shims, when facing the camber angle; If you are dropped, the rear axle negative camber slowly changes to toe in;
So if you give me how much you are dropped, I will trig it out, and incorporate that, in the rotationnal positionning of the bolt pattern.
Cheers!
