Massive tires and a real stiff front sway to prevent camber loss in cornering and a wicked alignment is pretty much doing everything that you can to that car. The 3mm front spacers is interesting though... I wonder how much camber they were able to get out of the front alignment... if it was enough to need more backspacing, I'd be surprised!
Spacers were likely to clear the stock struts with them mighty shoes.
