Default Camber Brace Question(s)

Hey guys,

I bought a used camber brace for my 91 Vette.
Theres about 1/4" of space between the brace and the upper control arm bracket.

Question:

1) Is 1/4" too much space?
2) Have I got the wrong brace?
3) Am I supposed to take up this space with alignment shims?
4) Is this a "normal" situation????

Mine came with alignment shims. 1/4 inch doesn't seem like too much (1/8" per side). Once you install it, you'll love the results.

Yes, contact Dave at R-D Racing. I'm sure he can hook you up with the correct shims.
