Thanks.
I usually run 5mm at least on bumpy surfaces, 5.5 at the most. There are 2 things I notice when switching the front suspension shims front to back.
#1. You shorten the wheelbase of the car, increasing overall steering when going through turns.
#2. You change steering Ackerman. In this case, increasing initial steering making it a little more twitchy.
