Andy,
I also have fitted the shorter springs to the front of my Spit, and am
running about .4 degree negative in front, instead of the factory settings.
The camber is usually set by means of the shims behind the lower control
arms. Changing the camber also changes the toe-in, so have a pro do the
alignment.
I am noticing a bit of oversteer now although otherwise the car handles
great. Perhaps that is because the front tires are working better than the
rears now?
