Message for a drop of about one inch, or maybe just a little more...I needed 0.60" of shim; or double the shim height used to compensate for the Eibachs which is generally considered to be 0.80". Remember the 0.80 drop of Eibach is based on a new springs, so there would be additional drop as it ages; and the NA springs I took off were also sagging a little from age. Also the rubber compresses. So overall, I may have a drop significantly more than a new set of Eibachs.

I think if someone wanted to use these shims, they should either do what I did, and use an adjustable UCA to mock up the shim thickness required... OR fab shims w/open slots so they could be dropped in from the top. This would allow the alignment shop to set up the camber adjustment w/o removing the UCA bracket.
