Theres a 1.5mm shim that goes under the steering arms, but the problem with that brace is that it incorporates the shim on the brace and essentially puts it on top. The issue I had was that if you ran 25/0 caster you gave yourself bump out that you couldnt fix (by lowering the ackerman bars you are essentially raising the steering ballstud).
I shaved the brace flat, but in the end took it off. If you run a truck it's fine as the shim is on top of the steering rack, but on the buggy it's not correct.
