My tech at the dealership came up with the idea of a wedge-spacer. After 6-7 different size (mm) plates we finally got it done. | |

Madd, this is a custom spacer shim that we came up with. I got impatient for one to be released so we made our own. I will talk to my tech at the dealership and see if he can mass-produce them.
Here's a side shot of the rear wheels:    | |

Awsome man!
now ok hows this work?
I look at how the rear is set up..
if you just shim the axle part.. the Caliper will stay the in the stock position..
so if the axle moved 3deg and the Caliper wasnt shimmed.. your brakes wont work right.. or wear right..
How many Deg is teh camber and was the Caliper also shimmed? | |

Marshall, thanks for the kind words. Both axles and calipers were shimmed and just enough to for the pads to clear the rotors. Next week my tech will start cutting more plates. Price TBD. | |

Is toe correction built into the camber shims? Or do the 08's not need it? Curious. | |

No. Toe correction is not built-in. The 2G def needs toe correction as the 1G did. | |
