Which will produce more traction, and which will lessen it?
Here is my take on spacers under the front camber link. In theory, more shims under the front camber links would lower the roll center but you will decrease camber gain when the suspension is compressed while cornering. Oddly enough, I have experienced that when you lower you front inner camber links, you feel like you gain more steering. It's because the camber gain offsets the roll center change. This is most noticable during the middle to exit of a corner where the car feels like it's dumping over and then washes out...
