Sounds good to me :) sorry didn't text you back earlier, been maxed out all weekend respraying some front bumpers on a B18 Civic ;)

Will give you a text tomorrow or in the week and come checkout the new panels after work!

Yeah but remember the figures supplied with shims are at standard ride height so you have to work out to compensate for lows haha.

Also, people call them camber shims, they are just shims for toe and camber setting, actually for wheel alignments, but obviously people just use them for stance etc :)

Yea, they're fairly easy to work out. Then jus spin them a notch or two in the right direction to account for the massive lowering lol.
