T3 2011 rebuild questions

Hey people, trying to get my car ready for the fall.

Question about the hinge pins and shimming.

Following the build instructions it says a 1mm shim in front and behind on the front suspension - this leaves a heck of a lot of slop for the front arms to move.. I always remember this being a bad thing.. is there something I am missing here? The back shows 5mm worth of adjustment for wheelbase.

I also note that Xray talks about 5mm worth of wheelbase adjust with the rear, but does not talk about adjustment in the front.. is this on purpose.. is there a reason you would not want to shorten from the front?

I bought this car used, so there are things I am finding out during the re-build, and I noticed the pin supports are using the lowest setting lowering the roll center, is this good for Niagara? or should I go back to neutral, I dont think high roll centers at Niagara is the right setting?

thanks

James
