The egg-shaped spacer is an eccentric cam and allows you to correct the droop once you install the anti-roll bar. You should set the front droop without the front anti-roll bar installed. But once you have re-installed the anti-roll bar after setting the droop, you'll find a slight difference in the droop right and left. You use the cam to correct this back to what you set.
Cheers, Mark.

I can adjust the droop by rotating the cam? Why does tightening the screw cause the suspension to bind? I have the aluminum sway bar mounts, if that makes any difference.

Ah, yes, forgot to mention about the alu bar mounts. You need to clean up the hole where the bar mounts mount onto the suspension bar pin.
Take a 3mm drill-bit and let it run through this hole a few times - it just takes a tiny bit of material off - enough to free up the movement of the suspension arms again
Cheers, Mark.

Should be easy. Just go to the same supplier that does his orange heatsinks.

Most if not all 1/8th cars use rear blade ARBs. Like the front, you now get fine adjustments in the rear too.
