Help - what shims do I need for my GT3
What shims do I need to get -2.5 degrees in the front of my GT3. Also, any suggestions on where to buy them?

Thanks for the help. It would seem to me that rotating the strut tops is the way to go, because it will give a little more fender clearance in the front. Wider rims and tires would more than offset the slightly wider track yeilded by using the lower control arm shims IMHO.

Larry, see my post about Caster. I had to remove the expensive shims because I ended up with too much caster and the tires rub. Now, all three of my cars have ovalized shock mounts and caster is dead on. Five mns with a dremel does it.
