how many washers did you use for your rear?
I'm doing my rear camber kit ghetto style with washers. I just put 3 washers and measured it out with a level and still doesnt seem like they are straight.. just let me get some idea of how many washers you added to your rear camber. thanks.

Re: how many washers did you use for your rear? (Spoon)
I have a GSR suspension on an 92 Hatch.
The car is lowered by approx 1.5 inches. Mine needed only 1 washer per bolt.
If you lift car and let the rear wheels hang, it should have a 0 degree camber. When the suspension compresses (@ 1.5 inch below stock height ) it should be within the stock settings. This means no uneaven wear assuming your toe in and out for the rear wheels is correct. If your car is lowere more than 1.5 inches, it might require more washers.
How do you get zero degrees??
Just get one of them carpenter rulers with a level (green liquid with a bubble). Stick it vertically on the wheels and the bubble should be at the center.

i just did mine recently and i had somereally bad butterfly in the back but i was only lowered around two inches or so.
I used two spacers/per bolt and it really helped out but i haven't used a leveler yet just to see how it positive it was

is this any a good way of eliminating negative camber???</TD></TR></TABLE>
The washers/spacers work well for the rear. For the front I believe you need a front camber kit. Do a search for camber.

k well i did this 
with 3 washers on each side.
But it doesnt show this
when i put the level next to it.. i think i'm just going to take it to get it aligned and if the guy says something about it i'll have to remove some or add some, lets see what he says tomorrow.

Please make note that different washers have different thickness. SO 2 washers for me might be 3 for you. I used 2 washers in the rear for my car. 1.7in drop. I have -1.0 camber on the left side and -0.7 camber on the right side.

Re: (eeJayeiGht)
If you are only using a few washers, then you can use the stock bolts. I used 2 washers per bolt when I installed my eibach pro-kits. Of course how many washers you use will depend on how thick your washers are.
