Default rubber tire kit settings are 3 degrees of rear toe so you need to put the thinnest (1 degree) and thickest (2 degrees) arm mount shims on the 2 rear RWD arm mount bolts if you're using a 0 degree hub carrier in the rear. The RWD bolts are the ones closest to the back of the car.

If you're missing the TC5R/TC5F manual you can download it from here:

The setup sheet at the end of the document has pictures of the shims and shows which locations are FWD and RWD.

Ok all this is the shims for rear toe in. But on the setup sheets, it shows rear toe in at a total of 3.5 deg, and 3 deg with the shims, so how are you getting the other .5 deg with 0 deg caster blocks? in the rear...
