Don't worry, I'm just getting my testing started... I have almost two more months of work ahead of me 
Just trying to get the conversation started in here

to keep it simple...
more shims under the camber link frees the car up
less shims is more traction

I run 3 MM

One last thing to note:
More shims = higher roll center & more camber gain (less overall traction, but may actually gain more side bite traction mid corner as the car is fully leaned over)
Less shims = lower roll center & less camber gain (more overall traction, but may actually lose side bite traction mid corner as the car is fully leaned over)

If change Front Suspension arm to low roll center , Rear is STD roll center ,
will how ?
Thanks!
