I get even wear on my tyres so I'd guess there doing the job fine .
I got them off a guy local to me called bettison2005
Mines on koni/bilsteins and Ahmed bajoo track springs and it doesn't squat.

These arent the same as mike rainbird sells, mikes are very thin toe shims that toe the rear wheels in slightly. This improves tyre wear and gives the rear a more centred feel.
The camber shims may be better than nothing, but not comparable to a six degree beam. They dont correct the toe changes under compression and extension, causing instability under braking etc.
Granted there is a big difference in price though...
Diff mount is also a good investment to improve handling

Shims will help the tyre wear but as said I don't think they will do an awful lot of justice to the way the car handles, 6 degree rear beam is expensive but it will be one of the best handling mods you will ever do to the car.
here is a shot of my one prior to fitting and a shot of the rear of the car once it was on, notice how straight the wheels now sit and they sit exactly the same when the car is on the tarmac

imo as standard the front of the rear wheels point in , this could also be changed a little with the correct shim at the same time to make them straight as well as taking camber off but you still want a bit of camber still on them so it straightens up when going round corners

the problem is the camber and toe changes with compression and extension. no amount of shims will correct this.
you can set the suspension so its all pointing the right way under a certain situation, but as soon as the suspension moves you are back to square one.

ah see what you mean mate , but if like me you are running coilovers the car dose not move a great deal so the way the wish bone moves will be very little imo i think the diffrance would be seen mostly on a track car but i guess the diffrent beam is really a track set up as it can be changed for each track or weather , cant wait to get my camber shims

evening people,fitted my rear shims today,no problem.
tried to move car forward and it was jammed/locked.
it seems from where the shims have pulled the drive shafts a little outwards that the bolts holding the cv joints to stub are fouling on the inside of the trailing arm.
anybody else had this problem?!!
if you look at rs mat photo above you will see bolt 1mm from arm
