Buy a protractor or a leveler and see it for yourself. No one would know how many washer you need. Each washer has different thickness.

Approximately 3-4 washers per bolt x 2 bolts - so 6-8 on each side.

Of course this depends on the thickness of each washer.

what worries you so much. i had to buy the washers in a bulk pack, and its not hard to take the wheel off to add some. i would wait until your springs settle first b/c people have more weight in the back/front of their car. for instance, i had a fairly low drop on my coilovers, and i have a heavy speaker system in the back, so it would be lower. you just have to figure it out for your car. from the alignment specs, its about .25 degree per washer if i remember
