I love how this is aimed at me :D

I had issues with toe until a few weeks ago when i set it up correctly, i'll write a guide up tomorrow and take some pictures if i get chance :) a lot of people use this method over camber shims so can't be that bad ;)

Still not the greatest idea in the world, at least with spacers you know it is correct, I would not be happy with washers.

From what position Wayne? Safety?
Or tyre/suspension wear?

Extra strain / stresses on the bolts
