Default Rear camber shims

I finally got the thing bagged, finally! Big ups to Steve at scionpro, Jeremy at Airlift and everyone on here who helped me out. I'm running 15x8's with a +15 offset and I can't get the rears to tuck like the stocks did. The front's are just to wide so I'll deal with those later. I'm looking for the rear camber shims with about a -3, but I can't find them anywhere. I emailed one ton garage but my emails keep getting kicked back with an error. Anyone know if they are still in business and if not do you have an suggestions for where to get some. Also if anyone has any ideas how to get the front lower without crushing my fenders I'm all ears. I can get it down to about 30 psi, but even then the fenders are sitting pretty hard on the tires. It's always something and more money, but that's the joy of working on cars.

Thanks in advance

Wow that helps tremendously. You guys rock. Think I should just go with the -3 or should I wait for the -5? My car is daily driven so would the -5 be too much?

id go with the -3, thats what i have.

do you have coilovers?
i think its imprtiant to have an ajustable highth when dealing with camber so you can get the toe set right. the more camber the more importiant this is.

a friend of mine had TRD springs and -5 camber and he drove about 400 miles and lost 3/32 of tread off his back tires.

ive got a tread depth guage and i check mine evey time i rotate them and i have not seen anything uneven

Yes I'm running bags. I still love the look of the -5 but as you pointed out I don't want to buy new tires for the rear every other month. What to do what to do.
