go home depot or any hardware stores. you'll spend less than $4.

Number of washers or thickness depends on how low your car is dropped. dropped 2" in the back use (2) 1/16 washers at each bolt i.e. (4) washers for each wheel. If your car is dropped more you'll need more washers but have to get a longer bolt too. Good luck.

on my car I'm on a 2.5" rear drop and i'm using 2 washer and then I use a Leveler and i'm almost dead center, 1/16 of the bubble on the leveler is tipping the middle point. so I figure thats good enough having a little alignment doesnt hurt the rear that bad..

With that small of a drop my answer would be none. When I was dropped 3.25" or so, I only had around 1.6* rear camber, so a 2" drop should be around 1.4* or so, which is perfectly acceptable for street use, and better for cornering anyway. You won't get extra tire wear with so little camber, as long as the toe is correctly set.

Now, an EK might be a completely different story, as they have a much more agressive rear camber curve.

Now here's the hard part. You need to find bolts that are strong enough. Hopefully someone can chime in.

sorry for bring back this old thread but can you re-use the factory bolts or do you have to replace those as well?

When you add washers, the original bolts become to short. That's why you need longer ones.
