I was told that a single pair of shims (one on each side) would correct a rear negative camber (top of wheels pointed inward). Mine is in the -2.1 degree range (about two degrees inward of straight up, or zero degrees) and my alignment place told me I'd need at least two, perhaps three shims on each side. Certainly one shim on each side would bring both of our cars closer to zero, but supposedly not close enough. I read in a previous post that for a sports style car, like our Aeros, the camber shoud ideally be set closer to -1 degree. So it's up to you, the link explains the shims incl. a part number. Take care.
