does the rear camber washer trick work? for the 96-00 civics? has anyone heard or experienced this when it failed on them?

 

i did it on my eg and ej. rear camber kit cost me 4 bux at home depot. 99 cent for a bag of 6 washers.

 

worked on my eg hatch.

 

saves you some money by adding washers.

 

Works but isn't 100% accurate. Just do it right and get a camber kit/alignment. Saves your tires in the long run.

 

haha i think ima do the washer trick after i slam, cause fucn i dont have the money for a good camber kit, and i dont wana go with some ebay ones. so ima washer my shittttttttt dawk

 

It works but its a pain to adjust. I found some buddy club arms for like $110

so your saying putting washers on is better than buying ebay camber

 

free/or/1$ vs 100+ well eventually when i run some upper cash moneys... washers sound rape right now

 

i have this setup on my 97 lx and it's fine. im slammed and they're as str8 at can be without rubbing.

 

i slammed my ek hatch .. i used 12 watshers in all 6 on each side.. no more bald tires my tires last me years now not months

What do you mean not 100% accurate? Having a little negative camber is good for handling and won't wear your tires, thats an alignment issue. Have you ever looked at the rear wheels on a CRV? They have a ton of negative camber from the factory. The washer fix works great.

 

BUMP BUMP more washer storiezzz

 

yes, it works.

 

yup, definately works.

if you need more than 3-5 washers, i'd recommend changing the studs out for longer ones just so you have enough thread left to tighten on.

 

i did it, and i [freak]ed up my thread so i had to get it rethreaded by honda... PITA...

but my rear wheels are straight, and the basic rule i heard was a washer per inch dropped.. it worked for me..

but listen to mashimaro and get longer bolts if using more than 3

 

i was always wondering about this trick also..... what size washers n bolts do you get though?

 

i regret buying my blox rear camber kit big time! for one its only been 1 year and its rusted out and its never been easy to adjust and get both sides equal.

with the washers as long as they're the same thickness on each side it'll be perfect. its almost impossible to get these camber kits adjusted right and since i threw my stock ones away now i cant do the washer trick!

 

3/8 washers

 

ahh thank you thank you. what about the bolts what size bolts do you use if you wanna extend em? Do you jus get some regular bolts at home depot or somethin or do you get em from honda?

 

you could get them from hd but if i were you i'd get automotive grade bolts they're stamped 8.8+ so they wont break.

 

Washer trick works fine, collectively I've put close to 60k miles on the ol washer trick, between 3 cars. I have 5 washers thick on my EM1 (typically I only run 3 on eg's) and its great. In the front i have Skunk2 upper control arms adjusted all the way out and I have -.9 degrees of camber in the front and -.6 in the back.

Its a daily so I'm not too concerned with Madd Trackkk action, I'm into saving my tires.
