Subaru differential specialist?

I ordered an OS Giken diff and am looking for a specialist to install it. The issue is that the backlash has to be set; to properly set this, we need a range of OEM bearing shims. I'm trying to avoid buying this set myself (which would likely be $300+). Does anyone have a set I can borrow? Or know of a shop that has them?

Thanks,

I ended up dropping off the car with FFTec as well. I'll pick it up on Friday and see how it feels.

It will make some noise initially but after 500 miles break in and changing diff oil - i highly recommend OSG diff oil - noise will be gone and drives like oem. U will only feel the difference on the track or driving hard on raining day haha
