Was the notice of this subtle or drastic?

That is correct. First i ran them under the hinge pin block. Car was very good. It had a slight push and may be better when the bite gets real high. I then tried shimming under both the hinge pin block and the arms. This made the car easy to drive but pushy on power. I then took the shims out from underneath the hinge pin block and got the camber gain back and now it worked just right for the given amount of traction. I may change it to shimming under the hinge pin block only this weekend as the bite will be higher being it is a big race and the track is going to see alot of traffic.
