I added three shims that totaled just less then 1/16".  It didn't change the feel much at all.  I could easily add another 1/16" spacer.  I might try that at some point.
seems like that should have made a decent difference. the article is talking .062 (1/16") I did less (.054 +/-) and got a huge change, but I am willing to go more.  maybe double since you can just reverse the process.  I guess the key would be to use the pressure gauge.  either way you would be doing trial and error anyway and it's going to come down to personal preference.

Just the fronts?  I was wondering about that.  front or back first again, a little at a time. $300 one month then $300 another month sort of idea.  I did not know if it would make much difference if you did not do it all right away.  thinking about what HP2 said... I don't race the car except for an occasional stop light quick launch.  I can see myself messing with it constantly trying to get the right feel, when all I would really need is good performing non adjust.  HMMM..  tough choice.  but this is for sure my next step.  even before the larger wheels and tires.

Thanks for the opinions guys.

I finally purchased the QA1 single adjust.  I decided just the front to start with and I got them in the UPS shipment on Friday.  Have not installed yet.  hopefully in the upcoming weekend.  then I can spend the rest of the fall playing with it.  That should keep me busy and not spending more money.
