Hi all I’ve been doing some reserch into this as when reading a thread someone mentioned about adding a 3mm spacer below the front bump stop if camber was added, my current setup is :-

Lowered Gaz adjustable shocks
Heavy Duty Lowered Front Shock Absorber mounts
Minispares new shape poly bump stops
Hi low suspension (lowered slightly)
2 degree negative camber lower arms (I know not ideal!!)
Fast road lower arm bush set (Minispares)
Adjustable heavy duty tie rods soft and hard rubbers
Poly type bump stops single screw

Do I still need these 3mm spacers with this setup

Thank you really appreciate it

with that much camber it is advised so as to not allow the bottom ball joint to bind under max droop. IIRC it was stated as an 1/8" spacer.

 

to be fair the lowered shocks should also do the same job stopping the suspension drooping too far.

This is my biggest fear a failing ball jount!!! I’ve tried to get a safe setup here, only reason I ended up with 2 degree camber arms is I won’t mention names but someone from the forum sold me them as 1.5 degree arms but they are clearly marked 2 on them ?‍♂️

dont forget they dont actually give 2 degrees just add to what you would have normally.

So I’m told ??

Can anyone give me a good geometry setup for my above setup please, will mean nothing to me but maybe the guy at the garage will understand it ?
Just to add I have 1.5 degree fixed negative camber brackets at the rear with hi los

Thank you ?
