Hi Paul, I'm in favourite of a well balanced choice of swingspring and dampers. The shim in between spring and diff is something you do if the wrong spring is chosen. That shim puts the spring higher up the diff and as a result lowers the car. I don't know what I said wrong there. Yes you are right, there is a small lowering effect by using longer axles. But simply using longer axles to lower a car is not a good idea. The effect is minimal and simply using the right spring is more effective. @Dennis84 The effect is very small. The same minimal amount you get easy with a few bricks in the rear. It is not the change of negative camber that stresses the bearings. The amount of negative camber is due to mostly the spring. Easy to have a lowered mk3 with more negative camber then a 1500. Spitfires with short axles have less problems with bearings because the axles are shorter. There is no automatic difference in camber between long and short axle spitfires. The spring makes all the difference.
