Yes, you do, badly. I have the same suspension and measured the bumpsteer. 28mm isn't enough, I needed to use 42mm of spacers to get my bumpsteer to measure zero. See below:
PS - as long as you are using the proper bump steer kits like the Rebel ones, you don't need the bottom reinforcement brackets for the amount of spacer you'll need.

What actually triggered the whole exercise is that I did a slight ride height adjustment in front, raising the ride height maybe 3/4". I measured the toe before and after and couldn't believe my eyes - I gained 3/16" of toe-in just raising the front that little bit!!
After finally settling on a front ride height of 151mm (measured the factory way but accounting for the 19mm raised spindles) I marked a line on the front bumper and backed the ride height adjustment so I could raise and lower the car around ride hieght and measure the toe changes.
I played with some pretty coarse adjustments and finally honed into doing 2mm of shim changes at a time. All I can say is WOW. A much smaller increment than I thought can make a measurable difference!!!
The picture above shows all the shims in place during one of the "extreme" tests. Ultimately I ended up with 42mm being the magic number for total spacer height. My final check was to run the suspension through 2-1/2" of travel (1-1/4 above and below ride height) and have no measurable difference in toe. |
