one simple question also,
if you add 2mm shim does anyone know about how much change this creates?,
like 2mm increased shim equates to an additional (x) degrees of negative camber?

Adding shims removes negative camber!

To get the max. negative camber, remove all shims.

Unfortunately the chassis vary enough that you never get exactly the same camber on different cars.
Plus, any damage to the chassis near the pickup points and/or bend trailing arms will affect camber as well.

I'm getting just shy of -2 degrees without any shims.
