Is there such a thing ??
My camber is off in the back, and I enjoy my ride height.

lowered 2.25" in the front, 2" in the rear.

Is each washer good about half-a-degree or a full degree?
I've heard you can use the stock bolt with up to 2 washers, any more and you need a longer bolt.

No matter what I wouldgo ahead and get new longer bolts if doing the washer thing. It is a pritty important system to be cheap with. Oh and brian is that Carlos's GS?

Yes, negative camber is a good thing for performance-wise, and it doesn't wear rubber as much as toe.

haha, i agree, although i am loving the washer trick with my 16x7's with 2.5" drop, soo, excuseeeeeee you with the 'civic crowd' ;P
but i hear that bigtime, i've seen disgusting negative camber on EF civics -- particually in the FRONT, which is just gross.

i HAVE seen accords in this 'crowd' too though, ya know, soo, HAH ;P

ive never had my car on the rack to see what my camber is at... but its pretty damn negative. i still like it tho... just for fun i just went to the ol car hole and snapped a pic of my camber.

the back isnt as bad tho, i have it higher than the front.
