Default rear camber shimms

ok its time to get this all pulled together
ive got allot of stuff on the way:
Tein SS+P coilovers
sportmax 16x8 +15 offset
falcon 195/50/16

all im missing is a set of -3 camber shimms for the rear. ive see plenty of people in the past drop names of other members that make them.
so throw me the name of the one you trust the most.

Question from a noob...

Are the shims required when you drop down on these coilovers? Or are you just trying to add more negative camber for the look of it? Thanks.

its not required.
but +20 offset is the max recomended for the box.
im not rolling the fenders and ill also be doing a 10mm spacer in the rear (maybe) i just want to make sure i dont rub the fender, + the look is cool.

ive gotten stuff from keoki befor and ive talked to him gain about thease camber shims the same day i started this thread, so im just gona get them from him.

Only use the -3 camber if you need to after rolling and lowering the car to the lowest. Too many times i see people throw camber on cause "its cool." People, use camber as a functional tool to fit wider wheels with low to negative offsets.

The wheels should fit fine and no rubbing with fender rolling. The offset was made specifically for the xB.

I was on 15x7 +13, with a 15mm spacer in the rear (essentially a 15x7 -2 set up) with 195/50 tires. I was lowered on Tein basics ( not all the way down cause I hadn't rolled the fender yet, but i only rubbed when people where in the car and if i hit a bump at a high speed.

Dont me to be an ****...if imcoming off as one.

not at all required it... i need it for my setup... so im guessing with larger rims and a lower offset you will rub.. causing for the need to raise up or go camber to tuck
