Just got back from the alignment shop, got the front end dialed in near perfect! Cost only $38.00!! Rear camber is -1.50 left and right. In order to get it into "acceptable" limits, I need to lose 1 degree or 60 minutes of camber. The stock shim that is in the car is a 2mm. As I understand it, for each 1mm of shim I will get 10" of camber change. If that's correct, I will need to add 6mm of shim to each side! Problem is that I can only find shims as large 4mm. Is it acceptable to stack shims? Say 2 or even 3 shims on each side to total up to the required amount, or do you need to use a single shim?
