I'm familiar with how they work. The issue is - when I'm looking to get an exact camber number - how do I know what shim to use? With a bolt - I can simply move it slightly to accurately dial in what I want. I guess if you have a variety of different sized shims this isn't a problem - but they aren't cheap.
5mm shim .5deg negative
10mm shim 1deg negative

Hasn't changed in 18yrs since the arms have been out. New are are the same! Super simple to figure out once you have a selection.

First time I've ever seen anyone post the relationship between a shim and camber. Thanks.
