Source for suspension shims?
I'm doing an alignment on my CSX4000 and am interested as to where others may have found a source for shims to adjust the suspension settings.
My early car has CSX3000-type a-arms and suspension.
Anyone have a source for the shims or offer any advice?
Thx.
Doug

They're nothing special, and used on a lot of cars. Pretty much any decent parts store should have them. You'll need to know the bolt size to get the proper shims.

No, like most everything on a Cobra, you can't get them from NAPA. The coil spring CSX cars can be a challenge.
So, again, does anyone know a source for upper A arm shims for a CSX3000/4000 Cobra?
