They are effectively spacers, but with one side thicker than another, so if you look at them from the rear, they have a triangular cross section.

Basically means that you can put them on to give you toe out, toe in, negative camber or positive camber, but they can only do one at a time, unless you use more than one anyway!

Regal sport do them.

O and there is no direct fit for a corsa, the people that make the shims have never said they are suitable for a corsa b, but with the rear bolt pattern being similar to a mk2 golf or nova (which they have fitments for) im sure they can be bodged on.

Antoni has done this. not to sure if it worked or not.

technically if you are doing mostly motorway journeys it might as the camber will always be negative but on rear beams as you corner the camber becomes positive so by using the shims for more negative camber the positiveness will be reduced

why would you need negative rear camber for any reason other than fitting low offset wheels?

will get thru tyres much much quicker.

+ Shouldn't wreck the back tyres that easily. They aren't the drive wheels, just follow along

because as the car rolls the tyre becomes more direct to the road
