Some dealerships will sell you or swap shims with you. Probably helps if they know you as a customer.

I got the hotcams kit for my CRF.

Find a shop to swap with, FAR cheaper than buying a kit.

Edit: One local shop has just given me shims for my clutch hackery which I thought was very cool of them.

if you can figure out what you need or at least the range, the 'refill' kits are way cheaper too. most of the big online retailers have the refill packs.

I've been able to swap shims at the local dealership before. They charged me a token amount for the pleasure, but it was really convenient.

nault's honda and mom's will swap shims free of charge.

just call the service dept to make sure they have the ones you need.
