The 7mm spacers affects the amount of camber change and the roll centers. Using 7 mm spacers makes for lower roll center which makes your car turn flatter round the corners. Ideal for foams and high traction tracks. It enables you to get on the gas faster out of the corners.
Using shorter spacers than 7mm or no spacers at all will result in the roll center being higher. Ideal for lower traction tracks. For rubber tire setup, it is better to take out the 7mm spacer completely because rubber tires do not require large amounts of camber change.
Front sway bars increases the stiffness of your front and hence decreases your front traction but increases your rear traction. It also makes sure that the front wheels stay horizontal and that either side of the wheels stays flat and do not lift up when taking corners. Good when running on high traction tracks.
