when i worked at the shop we had steel "u" shaped shims of different thicknesses. you probably could just get large washers and cut a channel in them, but i think the parts stores do carry kits of various sizes.
 
ok.. how many for each side? 4..or 3 i think
 
depends on the alighnment specs before correction.
off the top of my head, stock is probably 0* camber, 5* positive caster on the right (p/s), 3* pos caster on the left (d/s) and .05* toe in. for better performance you want to run negative camber. .5-1* neg will usually not affect tire wear but will help the car stick better. as long as the caster is positive on both sides and the pass. side is higher you'll be ok, it may wander a bit depending on the road crown.
 
Pbr are nice brakes its what baer really is and a lot of cars used stock mustangs ls1 camaro c5 corvette.With there mounting brackets only get the calipers from a auto parts store rotors and pads its cheap.
 
that's why i don't think i'll ever buy from baer, at least as long as kore3 is around. $900 for the kit and brakets including the new aluminum hub vs 1300 for a brake kit and brakets. hmmm which way would you go?
although it's something of a moot point now. i'm going to get the AFX spindles. forged aluminum, near zero bump steer, MUCH better geometry, c5 brakes mount straight on, and HD c6 bearings for a couple hundred more. 😀
