Hello forum. How many spacers/shims do you use each side on the upper spindle? Thanks.

I have to much negative camber…..

With respect, this is like asking "how long is a piece of string". Initially there is normally a slightly cone-shaped spacer, and then you add the shims/washers as required to give you the required positive camber
 
Yes…..but, I was looking for a place to start. No worries…..I will start 2 shims…..and see….

Have you got the spacers that I mentioned? They go between the wishbone 'yoke' and the inner wing, up against the inner-wing---the shims/washers then go between the spacers and the 'yoke'.If you haven't got these spacers, then you WILL need quite a number of shims as standard, the wheels have POSITIVE camber (i.e. lean OUT at the top). If your car is lowered, you will only need VERY LITTLE positive camber, as the wheels will go to slight negative camber when you have people in the car. It is best if you adjust angles (toe-in, camber) with quite a bit of weight in the front of car, as this is how it will be when driven.
If you are also adjusting toe-in (0), don't forget that your track-rods MUST be of the same length when adjustment is complete.
