Default Camber questions...

I went to get an alignment today and the front was 1.9 degrees off and the rear was 2.5 degrees off. So they recommended i get a camber kit for front and rear. They should be able to adjust the toe on the front, right? and then i could get the omni power shim kit for the back. Are the bolts longer than oem with the omni shim kit? The rear shim kit(comes with 4 bolt and 12 washers) allows up to 4 degrees of rear camber adjustment, should i be fine with that? I would much rather spend $15 on a shim kit than $100+ on a rear camber kit.lol.

If you have a Civic, some washers and longer bolts would help your camber. Search for washer trick.

Alignment for sure the toe kills your tires way more than the camber does.
