From the 2009 Solo Rules section 15.1 F.
"F. On all forms of suspension, camber/caster adjustment within
factory specifications may be achieved by the use of shims or
eccentric bushings. The intent of this allowance is to permit cars
to be restored to within factory-allowed specification ranges, not
to provide an additional method beyond those permitted in Section
15.8 to obtain alignment settings beyond the factory specifications."

As for the boost buggies, I think we can beat them but it will take some work.
Yea the way I read that rule it allows you to shim the suspension ONLY if you're trying to get it back to the stock range because something else you did got it out of whack, like over-lowering. It still allows the use of crash bolts, camber plates, adjustable arms, etc. to do whatever you want but you can't use shims for the same purpose as all those other allowed items.
