Default rear camber kit?

I got an EK, and I have heard few people here in HT that did the washer trick for the rear. I was thinking of doing it myself too, now where can i get these washers at and how many would i need???... btw im dropped like 2.25" thanks guys.

first you have to figure out size of bolt, i forgot what it is, maybe 14mm, so get a washer that will fit that, get them at your local hardware store, i used 4 per side(2 per bolt) but you may need more or less, each washer is about .5 degrees of camber...hope this helps a little

The head is 12mm. The thread is 8mm in diameter, so you'd need an 8mm washer.

The bolt is 10mm, I am pretty sure the head is 14mm, definetily not 12mm.

I did check. I have a service manual, plus I have done this before on 3 different vehicles (eg, ek, crv) all the same size bolt, 10mm, just don't remember which socket size that is.
