Default Ackerman and Bumpsteer

Guys,
I know that when we add shimms on the steering hack we are in fact changing Ackerman angles on the fromt wheel. In the stock form, S411 has no shimm, but I saw some setups where the people are using up to 3mm shimms there. What are the real efects I should fell on the drivebility of the car ? The more shimms, the more smooth steering response ? Is that right ?

Other question is about shimms betwen the steering blocks and steering link. I know we are talking about bumpersteer, but in fact, what kind of reaction change we have when some shimms are added ?

Thanks
