So I guess I got knockoffs, since I'm sure I didn't get any shims...

did you ever ask for any? remember, you actually had the second set of PG spacers in the country, well before the shims were made. you and i have had plenty of discussion on how to fix the problem, you even told me you would look into making the shims locally. why isn't this happening via AIM?

shoot me a PM.

EDIT: this goes for any of our customers who have bought the spacers and haven't gotten shims yet. Also anyone with other brand spacers can still order our Shims if they need a set. :)

No worries, Joel... Just yankin' your chain.

No need for AIM, we talked about this already and we're good.

PETERPOOP should chime in to this one, too.

Question: Will having shims on one side screw with my alignment? Should I add the shims to both sides to even it out?

Penguin Garage · 09-15-2009, 05:43 PM

you'll want camber even on both sides.

*tk-421* · 09-15-2009, 10:32 PM

That's what I thought. Thanks!

well is our yarii really crooked on one side...just curious maybe i can order 10mm and 13mm on one side..anyone.

BluYrs · 05-19-2010, 09:26 AM

Seems to be a universal thing. Mine's got the same problem- glad to see I'm not the only one.

spookz · 05-19-2010, 10:14 AM

Mine is the same, it became more obvious with lower offset rims and spacers installed.. I now run a 10mm and a 5mm spacer.. There is still approximately a 2-3mm difference between sides.. So I probably needed to run a 13mm and a 5mm.. lol

marcus · 05-19-2010, 10:24 AM

i just checked it..it is..the right side sticks out more than the left..wow.got to get me 2 different spacer size..

marcus · 05-28-2010, 07:35 PM

marcus · 06-21-2010, 02:43 PM
