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?

The above is a great read!! Note also a key point: that lowering the ride height will increase negative camber due to the trailing arm geometry. generally speaking, lowering the car will add more negative camber, so you end up adding shims to push it back towards zero. Setting ride height before any camber adjustment is therefore key, obvs.

Tangerine Racing sells a useful assortment of varying shim thicknesses, FYI.
