Do you mean a shim between shock and shock tower or a shim on the shock-shaft? |

Think the manual mentions its effects. Increased stability, reduced turn in/steering. Makes the car easier to drive. |

The effect is very small, I rarely use this tuning aid. If I remember correctly it will increase traction from the shock which is shimmed out. However I always use 1.5mm shim between the top front shock mounting in the tower and the shock to have it mounted more vertically aligned with the arm (with standard wheelbase). |
