 Morning Brian,
I have experimented with these blocks in the past, with 3/8" to 3/4" thickn=
ess' determined on the condition of my leaf spring(s).=C2=A0 Currently I am=
 using a composite spring rated at 250lb. rate with no spacer.=C2=A0 Camber=
 is about minus 3 deg each side.=C2=A0 Toe is corrected with adjustable rad=
ius arms similar to what is used on GT6's.
Just my two cents, good luck sir,Bob T'64 Spit GT=C2=A0 autocrosser

Let me know your experiences - ThanksBrian
