Default Rear axle shims?

I read on a thead earlier about shims on rear axle but cant find it again would it be wheel spacers to widen the track on rear or axle geometry?

Is that the s1600 reae beam?

What other chassis/suspension tweaks help Im thinking of one for targa rallys on tarmac aerodromes? Its a puma or mx5 Im looking into at mo
A mx5 came 4th overall and the puma entry came second last but that might be down to the driver.
