Just read this post so I'm a bit late...LOL

The picture AZ posted above is for the SPC 75800 rear shim which is correct for the Versa / Cube. But the link to Rock Auto is for Moog's version of the shim. I know the SPC's are good but I've never used the Moog's.

If your drop is 1.5" or less you may get away without them, but any more than this the shims are a must, unless you like buying tires.

I haven't dropped my Cube yet so I don't have all the particulars, but if you install the shims you may need the slightly longer bolts from SPC, the part number for these are 73415.

For the front end camber adjustment you will need the SPC bolt part number 81260 (I think). These bolts simply replace the upper bolt on the lower strut mount allowing for some camber adjustment, these bolts have a cam. I've used these before on my Focus and they work real well. - Dan

Apparently there's no shim kit available?
Can you camber (negative) in on a 2012 Versa Hatch?????
