I bought mine at a Kragen store.
With a GS-R, the spacing is very tight: 0.06, 0.07, 0.08.
Advice from searching said that the shims that are bent (at the ends) are better for the job. But the bent shim set at Kragen did not have the right thickness values. So I went with the unbent pocket-knife set; there must be about 20 blades. I did not have a problem with the unbent shims, as the shims are already really thin and bendable.
