Scrub radius, strut angles and alignment setup

Hi everyone,

Trying to get line up my thoughts for my suspension install and alignment this weekend.

I am installing Tein Flex As with 10mm wheel spacers on stock rims and suspension components. Another thread has mentioned that the stock setup has about 0.75 inches (or 19mm) of positive scrub radius, so having 10mm spacers would further increase that amount.

In order to reduce scrub radius, I am thinking if I could attain the desired negative camber by using the camber plates, and then using camber bolts to bring more positive camber back - by doing so I would assume I could get less positive scrub radius while keeping the slightly wider track.

This car is a street car with the occasional canyon runs. The height is planned to be at 145mm/135mm rear and front at pinch welds respectively. The spacers are to increase track and to fill some flush while at it. Toe is to be at 0, and camber to be targeted at around -1.7 degs.

Any thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated - thanks.
