Default spc front upper control arm install question

I need to install front upper control arms to run more negative camber to run aggressive wheels.

I was wondering, are the brake and hub shims needed to be installed that come with the spc kit if i just want more negative camber?

In the video it says if more positive camber is needed install the hub and brake shims.

4:15 into the video

OK if your camber is wacked out and like negative 2-3 you have to put the angled shim behind the wheel bearing to give you a POSITIVE 2 degrees of camber, then you will be somewhere around 0-1 degree negative and can use the upper arm adjustment to give you a little more negative or positive. O have fun shimming those ABS sensors too

Then again if your car is really low, you won't be able to access the nut on the upper arm to adjust it anyway. If you car isn't too low you are probably only at about negative 2 and that should give you enough access to the top bolt and pull the arm out to around 1 degree negative.

You need to sell those SPC arms and get Kinetix real qwick
