Default Rear camber

I've got a 97 civic ex with an H/R sport drop. I did the DIY rear washer camber correction thing a while back. I had 4 washers in each bolt originally and my alignment was negative 1.4* in the rear(spec is -1). So I put one more washer in on each bolt recently and I swear to the eye it looks worse. Is this a possibility? btw, I have longer bolts to correct for the added space the washers take up. Dont know how many others have done this but if so, what was your guys' alignment numbers? thanks

The washers could have crushed or the bolts might have bent.

I believe that the DIY said if you put more than 2 washers on a bolt that you need to go to home depot and get longer bolts. They are kind of a bitch to find, but they do have them. Remember you need a fine thread bolt, not the usual thread that they have. Or you can anways try a specilty auto parts store, aka not pepboys\vatozone.

Did you put the washers in the right location?

Remeber, springs sag, and if you lowered it just recently then the springs need time to settle. Also your eyes could be playing tricks. Just a thought
