Default Washer trick bolt sizes/specs (correct your camber with washers)

I've had 2 DA's, a DC, and a EG.

the first DA i didnt lower, the second one i didnt care about camber, the third one wasnt lowered enough to matter, and now the EG has expensive tires so i want to correct the rear camber (front is already corrected)

now i know on the DAs you could put washers under where the control arm attaches to the body (i think... i know what it looks like but i'm not sure what its called)

can you do this with EGs as well? if so, do i need longer bolts like you do with the DAs? if so... if anyone has done this could you let me know what bolt size and how many washers i should put.

Most honda's are the same way (well integra and civics i mean) You do the same trick as you would with the DA. But sorry i dont know the bolt sizes.

You don't need longer bolts just for one washer. I doubt you need it for two, but I haven't tried it.

Don't take the camber all the way down to zero. Leave it between -.5 and -1 degrees.
