Default MAP Trailing Arms? Available? Alternatives?

Guys MAP is sold out of trailing arms. I really need a set! Does anyone else make trailing arms that provide additional clearance? Or, does anyone have a set of MAP trailing arms to sell?

Thanks!

-I have eibach lowering springs.
-I got an alignment today, the camber is set to 3 now. Before when it only rubbed with passengers the camber was 1.

The new alignment resulted in a LOT of constant rub from the trailing arm on the passenger side.
-So, I put a 5mm spacer on that side as temporary fix.
-I estimate I have 3mm of clearance now between the rim and trailing arm.
-I have not rolled my fenders, they bend upward but are not flush (I assume this is from the factory).

If you look closely in the pic you can see the rub mark near the bottom of the tire. This is where I currently rub when I hit a bump.

If I get a 3mm or 4mm spacer and roll the fenders it might just sneak by...

BMR makes some for the V. Do not worry that it only says 04-06 (if you have the best year of 07), they will still work.

I could really use some MAP trailing arms as well. Stock arm rubbed my driver side CCW. BMR arms don't look like they'll provide any additional clearance.
