Default Camber Adjustment shims from Carnewal?.....

I remember reading a post that said Gert had these in different sizes available, but I dont see them listed on his site. What gives? Thanks!

1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 7mm - seems there is no exact formula for how many MMs of shim = x degrees of camber. Depends on your particular car and how they do it so you need a variety for the aligner to play with.

You can find some more info in former threads titled shims and Suspension Adjustments.

Check out the shims on the Carnewal site.

Gert is great. I ordered sets of the 2 mm and 3 mm shims from him and they came a day early, at a time when I really needed them to be on time. GT2's and GT3's come with 1 mm shims, so having additional 2 mm and 3 mm shims gives you the ability to have anywhere from 1 to 6 mm on each side, which should be enough to get at least 2.5 degrees negative if desired.
