Camber Washer Trick
TAKEN FROM G2IC.COM
For a DA integra, but should be generally the same. .
Correcting Camber in Rear Wheels.
If you want to get rid of negative camber because it's eating your tires you can do this:
1- Jack up your Integra and remove the wheel.
2- There's an arm that attaches to the car right besides the gas tank when you look straight through the wheel well and it has two bolts attaching it to the car.
3- Remove these two bolts and insert metal washers between the arm and the car and reinstall again.
4- Number of washers or thickness depends on how low your car is dropped. Mine is dropped 2" in the back and I used (2) 1/16 washers at each bolt i.e. (4) washers for each wheel. If your car is dropped more you'll need more washers but have to get a longer bolt too. Good luck.
5- Camber correction for the fronts however requires purchasing a camber kit OR some really heavy duty modifications to the front fender OR bending the "spindles." (the last two are not good and not recommended)
