Default Anyone Do the Rear Camber Washer Trick???????

I have been wanting to do the rear camber washer trick on my 96 honda civc hatch but cant find the right grade 8 bolts.... everyone i ask is telling me to use grade 8 and dont use anything from home depot....... i need help finding some grade 8 bolts or at least the measurments. i was told to find this size bolt M10x40 Hex Flange Bolts – Pitch 1.25 but grade 8 dosent measure in M. so if anyone has done this and used grade 8 bolts what size did you use. thanks in advance

how low are you dropped? you can use 2 washers on the stock bolts.

usually "grade 8" bolts are in SAE sizes only.

Before I got my OMNI control arms, I got my bolts and washers at Orchard Supply or ACE hardware.
ACE has them in stainless steel also.
I had to use like 5 or 6 washer per bolt before because my car was low.

I didn't ask you when you PMed me, but did you get an alignment? Because you may not need to do this at all.

i was going to do this then get an alignment after...i orginally lowered my car with ground controls about a 2.5 inch drop with stock struts and stock 13 inch rims. but this within the next few days im going to put some agx struts on with 16 inch rims. as of now i dont really have that much camber in the back but i plan to drop it alittle more when i put my 16's on so i figure ill do the washer trick and the alingment all at one time.
