Default REAR CAMBER KIT, WASHERS???

I am looking to fix my negative camber in the rear. I am planning on buying a pair of rear camber kits for this. But I have heard that I can use washers, with longer bolts to adjust this. Is this true?? If so, has anyone ever done this?? I would appreciate some feedbacks, thanks

If you are in that need of money then yes that is how you do it with washers. If you have a $100 do it with equipment that is made to do that.

Don't even worry about it. With a proper alignment, camber correction really is not needed.

During my last alignment, the guy was about to remove my rear upper arm bolts to put washers in there. I was like "ummm no thanks, I like my negative camber (better for handling), so just leave it as is and adjust the toe please kthnx"
