Message The ROOT of his issue is his NA springs - they make NA and TT springs for a reason - the TT is heavier. If he were to install TT springs and run his Stillen arms, he'd be fine. If he ran TT springs and the 300degree camber kit, he'd also be doing great - the 300degree kit will not wear out or slip out of adjustment. Many Midori style arms have worn out, and the Stillen upper arms are known to slip out of adjustment.

That's all people are trying to tell him. There are simple solutions and complex ones. But trying to compensate for running NA springs on a TT by adjusting out the camber, thats just an ass backwards fix.

If he has an issue with the stock arms because of the bushings, then replace them with the nismo - the 300 degree kit is just rock solid reliable and A perfect fit for TTs with TT springs.

To address his actual question "if a 1/8" spacer would buy me the .1-.2 [degrees of] camber I need"

Most people are trying to help you by giving you their best case scenario answer. Additionally - not alot of people intentionally run NA springs on a TT, so I don't think there are many in a place to answer your exact question.

Given that you have adjustable arms - if they are currently at FULL adjustment and you need .2 degrees, I'd run the 300degree kit and use the Stillen arms to fine tune the camber. Just like I said in my first post. Will a 1/8 inch thick spacer get you enough - maybe, if I had to guess, I'd put the 300 degree thickness between 1/4 and 3/8 inch thick.

At the end of the day, you'd still be better off just putting the correct springs on.
