What's the difference between that and buying some washers and cutting them like that?

We released these so you guys don't need to modify them to the correct size.
these are all the same, so no worries of modifying,testing,modifying,testing and so on. Just slip them in and enjoy the added camber. (Professional alignment suggested). |

Garm, these are stainless washers. We didn't go exotic on the materials to help keep costs down.

Query: I recently tried the plastic camber plates/shims and they didn't really work-out very well, so I'm exploring other options. I don't really need to add more negative camber, but I really want to eliminate the factory toe-in. I'm not rolling over the rear tires, even in hard cornering on concrete, and the car rotates reasonably well. I don't mind if I get a little more negative camber, but that's not a priority. Is there a configuration with these shims that will achieve zero or VERY slight negative toe-in?
Second, if I have my current alignment numbers, can we calculate fairly-precisely the degree of adjustment that will be made to each side? |

Thanks for the great service!

Finally got these installed... Got a chance to drive around a bit, and I like the new feel, although somehow my suspension is sitting a bit too high at the moment... I guess that will pass after a couple of days.

these came free with the spacers right??
how come they cost now, just wondering.... I suppose if you only want the shims it would make sense.... I never installed them because I was unsure of the uneven surface that would be caused by adding them.... what would be cool is if you made angled shims and adjacent shims that would let the hub sit flat on them instead of there being a gap. still, thanks for making this stuff for the yaris, Im really loving my PG13's and cant wait for some new wheels to really see the more flush look :D
