I don't know of any shops in my area that has an alignment rack and a CNC/mill, that I can use all day to make the plates and check alignment. Nor the money.
But for those who want the closest thing, OTG camber shims are the way to go. |

| they're not metal, its some kind of componsite material that shows where to cut it and gives the angle to cut it ;-), simple hand/air tools needed i believe, but there are two shops around here that will adjust toe on fixed rear hubs  it wouldn't hurt trying in your areas, just trying to help  |

| or if you have a friend that works at a tires shop, you can always experiment with super thin washers to get the toe right on the alignment rack (just another suggestion) |

I'll have to make osme phone calls one day once things settle down.
I have the OTG camber shims that I was going to use in place of the DiParks, and I heard about the washer trick before also.
Better yet, I'll move out to FL and take yours!  |
