Default Shims for GT3 LCA's

I'm finally doing the LCA's. I need to figure out what shims to order, is it possible to know in advance? I hear it's 0.1 degree per 1 mm of shim, but I don't what the baseline is at 0 shim because the GT3 LCA's are different from the 997 LCA's even without shims.

I have -1.3 camber with stock suspension. I want to get to -2.2 or so. What shim set should I order?

Also, check my goal. For mixed hpde/street/autocross use on stock suspension (+LCAs) and street tires, I'm thinking

-2.2 front camber
-1.8 rear camber
0 front toe
0.15 rear toe in

maybe only -2.0 front would be better on street tires?

(I'm also still curious about the camber plate option that nobody seems to use)

I think you asked this a couple of weeks ago and I suggested you ask the shop that's going to professionally install and track-align the car. They will know which LCA version to get, what shims, etc. Also, have them suggest the settings based on how you want to use the car, not the other way around.

I posted in your last thread the settings my shop came up with for my car and I believe it was -2.4 up front for street / DE. I've been running that on my cars for 4+ years.

I'm running -2.6 up front, with 10mm and 6mm shims (total 16mm). My suggestion for -2.2 is to order a 10mm and 2mm for each side. You can get these from Tarett unless you insist on OEM.
