Default rear shim kit question

I have a 98 hatch and i have -2.4 degrees on the left and -2.9 on the right. I just bought that rear shim kit that is sold by omini power. should i use two washers on the left and three on the right? The kit is rated to adjust your camber up to 1.5 degrees of positive camber so i figuired each washer would give me a positive half a degree. Is my assumption right? I am trying to for around -1.5 in the rear.

ya put 3. The left side is less negative now, but think about when the driver sits in the car
