Default Washer trick

I was wondering if someone had the exact numbers per washer and what bolt size to use and such. Its a 2000 sir. Just got my skunk2 camber in the front done and i want to do the washer thing i just dont know what the degree per washer is and which bolts to use.
I know that its the toe that effects the wear but am off probably close to 3 degrees and want to bump it to 1, 1.5 degrees . Went to a dealership in my town and they laughed at me when i asked about the bolt and what i wanted to do. Any places anyone could recommend would be great. Thanks in advance

Also was wondering any you all got skunk2 coils and koni yellows if so how do you like it? What kinda experiences have peeps had with the washer trick.

i used 2 washers per bolt...i dont know exactly what the thickness is on the washers but i can tell you that i got them from HOME DEPOT...its pretty much trial and error and when it looks good go in for an alignment...just make sure that both sides look almost the same...

I put in 3 of the washers that came with the omnipower camber kit and it almost corrected my rear camber.. its probably about -0.5 or -1 and it used to be about -2.5 to -3

Yeah when i was talking to the guy at Kal tire the machine showed that the camber in the back should be -1 degree.I will probably start with 2 and go from there. Thanks for the info. Ohh and by the way i read on hondaswap.com that there was something a miss with the omnipower and would recommend people to look it up. I will see if i can find taht thread and link it up.

Edit: looks like that link was right here from honda tech lol so i'm sure peeps have seen it then but just incase.
