Default How far up do I shim my 02 sensors?

I think my cats are failing, I got the CEL saying the O2 things were reading 'above normal' emissions tolerances. I asked the Audi reps and they said it'll be about 2 grand to have them replaced. I don't have that kind of money for a few months and need a bandaid fix.

So, How far up do I shim them to make it go away?
