SPC A Arms question
I am wondering if it is necessary to install the extra shims that came with the kit. It is a ton of extra work and if it is not necessary then I do not know why I should do it. I am not slammed to the ground. I only plan on lowering it a lot while I am at the track, which will only be a few times per year. Any suggestions?

I was on a half inch drop, didn't need the shims.
I did another inch and a half drop today all around.
Getting another alignment tomorrow, not sure if the shim's are necessary.
Hopefully someone else has better info from personal experience.

Yes, I am on coilovers. I am not dropped that much right now. I went from Eibach Sportlines to the coilovers because I got tired of fixing my exhaust constantly. For the track, though, I will be lowering the car quite a bit. If you could let me know what they say I would appreciate it.

Truthfully this is just my opinion. The shims came with the purchase of the A arms. I have a set sitting in front of me right now about to go on my car.
You paid for em. Use em. U may feel now that you're not gonna lower the car that much. cool but I would rather put them all on at one time instead of having to take everything off, put the shims on then put everything back on again should I change my mind.
But that's just me. U paid for em, why not use em. Is it REALLY gonna be that much extra trouble to put em on? no.

Well I will have to wait a week to install the kit :'( One of the bolts on the A arms are stripped (my fault, grabbed the wrong socket #^&@) So I have to order one from Nissan and I won't have time till next weekend.
I decided I will install the shims. Like mentioned above, I am already under there, might as well.
