they sent it out friday, and it came today, usps I'm glad the didn't fed-ex it :ghey:

but they only sent the A-arms, and didn't include the bolts/washers to do the rear shim job.



so I was just wondering EXACTLY what you guys used, as far as size of bolt and washers. just in case someone might have had a similar setup, I'm lowered 2.25" and have a rear camber read-out of -2.1 left -2.6 right.

I used the washers that came with the kit. Since you don't have those go to home depot and get washers that are about 2-3mm in thickness. I used two on each bolt. I reused the stock bolts because the ones they sent were absolute ***.

how low are you dropped? I guess I should be glad they didn't send me those bolts

I dropped it till I had about enough room to fit a finger in the gap in the front and two fingers in the rear (LOL). I don't know the exact height it was lowere. I got it aligned at Sears and everything was ok.

This was only a temporary solution for me though. I later purchased a rear camber kit.

tell us what you really think

well, I did it as a joke for another site (honda-acura.net, where the pic is linked from), but wow do you guys seem to take offense to it.

speaking of assclowns, I asked for people who "DID THE REAR WASHER CAMBER TRICK" like it says in the title. Thanks for no help.

yeah, i think one side will take more than the other (there's a .5 difference with each side of my rear)

did you replace the bolts, too? or just use the ones on there?

the pic on the site shows less mass on the arms. Like there's an openeing in the middle of them

here's what I ordered, and where I got it from:

i've been using the washer & factory bolt set-up for a couple of months now, and not a single problem. i used the slimmer SS washers from the local hardware store.

<U>2nd - the pic you posted:</U>
i don't think people are offended, i just think they're pointing out it wasn't a smart move, and people should think twice before doing shiz like that.

looks like some sticky-icky though...

peace

They didnt include a **** load of washers, probably because that'd be pretty stupid. When you buy a front camber kit, you get a front camber kit...thats all.

And posting pics of you smokin the sticky doesnt make you cool...its just pointless.

Same item as the skunk2 upper arms i have. The only bad thing is they slip. I want the new modified ball joint plates from skunk but have to purchase a new set of arms.
