We use the B4 wheel spacers for 2 reasons: to avoid the car being too wide and to be able to put some washers on the axle on the inner side of the hub to push it further into the outdrive. This way you can have full droop without the axles falling out of the outdrives.
MF2/BK2 hubs with standard wheel spacer are great, but after doing some testing I chose to run the CR hubs and dremeled/B4 spacers everywhere (partly because of laziness). Works all the time.

Just want to check you use the inside hole on wishbone and hub? which means the camber link will be quite short?
Can you post a picture of the rear end of your car? On wishbone I nearly always use the inside hole (short VLA). On hub I always use the B hole. You know it is the B hole when it is located right above the inside VLA hole.
Most of the time I run a slightly shorter rear camber link than the standard one in the manual yes.

drilling the extra hole will return the droop to the car?
Yes, but that isn't the main reason to drill an extra hole. The extra inner hole is better on bumps and gives a better rotation to the car without losing a lot of stability. The extra droop is nice, but always check it at the front as well, especially on rough tracks you'll want about the same droop front and rear.
