anyone need alignment shims?
I have one and a half boxes.
Got my alignment done at the local race shop. Car is lowered 3/4" on KW HAS. It was already at -2.5 camber front and -2.2 rear on the dot on both sides. Is that weird/normal/coincidence? I know nothing about suspension.
Toe was a little off.
Basically seems like an afternoon and several hundred bucks wasted heh.

I go in for my alignment in two days and also bought two boxes of shims. My camber is way off from lowering it, simply based off my observation, so I’m guessing I’ll use more shims than you. Glad to hear yours didn’t require much. With only 3/4” drop it would seem you wouldn’t need many shims.

You will need one box per side
Because each box has multiple sets numbered up and down. You only need one set to get you to the desired angle and the rest of the box is then useless to you. Repeat on the other side. Would be a better system if you could just order the shim kit you actually needed rather then a whole box full.
