Default Toe problem after lowering

Here's the thing, I went lower about 1.25 inches and bought the gruven adjustable control arms for the rear. Took the car to firestone for an alignment and all but the toe was able to get into the green. I also took it to les shwab for a second opinion and they confirmed that the toe was adjusted to the max and I still have 1.5 degrees of toe. I guess my question is what can I do to correct it? I'm taking it to another shop Friday and they're going to see what they can do with shims but I'm hesitant. Are shims ok with disc breaks and ABS? Are there any options I'm missing to correct the toe?
