    Nice to hear how well the spacers worked, I knew this was a cheap and easy fix to get decent camber-caster. They are more oriented towards caster than camber. They will give some camber but if you can go past 2.0 I'd be ****ing surprised. Caster at +6 is at the high end of what I could get with spacers. Black bushing pins not flipped.

    Have you considered cutting the A-arms' studs to get more camber?

    Frank thanks much for the help on the 10mm spacers for the LCA as it did give me enough caster and about .8 more of camber, I have been talking to Jim @ FFR and I think there is an easy fix on the camber also, so I will try that also. So I hope to wind up with -3 camber, +6 caster in the end.
