I found that one under each gear was too loose, and 2 under each gear was too tight. If I put one under one side, and 2 under the other, it seemed just right. (I feel like I'm reading Goldilocks and the three bears to my 4 yr old!)
Since I don't like the idea of uneven shimming (not sure why...I just don't!) I decided to try to find some 0.3mm shims. Xray has some 5x15x0.3mm "washers" that fit perfectly, and with the extra outer diameter, they seem to allow less play too! Zero parasitic drag.
That's what I've been running, and 3 rebuilds later, the Xray washers are still in perfect shape.
I used .3mm thick washers from Ofna and they are perfect as well. Definitely the way to go when shimming the diffs.

I warped several sets of stock arms, but have been running a set of RPM arms for 6 months and haven't been able to measure any warping... maybe it's the cold climate up here.
For those that had been asking about prices on parts, a good chunk of parts are going live in 10 minutes on my website.
