Default LST diffs shimming set

I have searched in the web and also in the Manual of the LST but there was not such a part for shimming the LST diffs. Does anyone know how i can shim them, and if they do need to be shimmed? At some point they will definitely need to, i know that but they are new now and they are not smooth at all when you try to turn them with your hand.

I run an E-Muggy, which uses the same diffs as the LST (just a different ratio).

The diffs in mine have the stock shims installed (1 behind each spider) and the diffs have put up to over a year of heavy 5S use. These things are bombproof, I don't see you really needing more then the stock shims.
