very minimally will the camber be affected. It is said that there might be safety issues with using spacers, and there is also the change of vibrations. I use to have them on my G35 and had no issues. Whatever you do tho, get a good brand and not ebay ones...

I went with H&R and things were fantastic up to 125mph at Road America. Either I'm lucky or more likely the 'bad' stories are related to off-brand, cheap spacers.
