Cut my own camber shims instead of paying $120

Shop quoted me $120 for 2 degree rear shims on my Civic. Grabbed a sheet of 1/8 inch aluminum, laid out the angles, and cut them on my bench saw. Three cuts later they fit perfect, alignment came in at -1.8 degrees. Anyone else fab their own suspension bits when the price tags get dumb?

The whole "$120 instead of basically nothing" thing is exactly why I started making my own stuff too. Good on you for figuring out the math and saving the cash, that is such a satisfying feeling when it works out.
