Default rear adjustment shims ?
Does anyone have the dimensions (or even better, a picture/drawing) of the shims to fit to the rear beams to get better traction with a 2WD (after lowering it a bit..)
I tried the search function but it looks like it only goes back untill about a week ago..

My shims are to adjust the toe only. Those ones do the camber and in my experience give strange handling traits.... . However, ideal for the drag-strip .
