Message	:I know quite a few with just shims or 300deg "kit" that's why I'm asking. I always thought the main reason is when you lower further than .8", the amount of length needed is too much for a shim kit to be safe. everytime I go to a road course, out comes my big stick... I adjust my suspension for substantial negative camber. everytime I compete in an autocross, guess what... that's right, I adjust my suspension for substantial negative camber. I write how many turns on the turnbuckle (midori) on racers tape and tape the settings on the fender. When I complete my day/weekend of racing, I invest 15 minutes in resetting my suspension back to stock before hitting the streets. Remember, mod for a purpose.
