"I suggest you measure twice, and cut once..." as the expression goes...
Being in a recent minor accident, requiring minor suspension repair doesn't help with this discussion with band aids and such....
And reviewing the post I sent you from dip on how to shim the rear camber...his left wheel was out significantly more than the right as I recall.
He noticed his rear camber was off after replacing/updating/overhauling his suspension..per his post....so much for the sagging suspension theories at least in this case!!
Please do yourself a favor here and go measure the rear height...calmly tell us all the findings.... thanks!
WIS has a rear camber table for 17" wheels, that ranges from a 590mm ride height all the way to 650mm...
FWIW---My 2001 LPT with its Koni suspension installed (at ~ 90kmiles) is now in the height range of an AERO (according to WIS)...and my car has 16" wheels, cross referenced in the WIS tables I'm describing. The car now has over 141,000 miles..and has not changed in over a year with the shims.
"Band aids" as others tout here is..."hooey"....the shims just "flat out" work. They "flat out" work on the 9-5....NG900....and OG 9-3 Saabs.
Post back with what you find and I'll try to help.
