The washer trick is for the rear camber. Are the struts put on properly with bump stops?

You raise the damn car up is what you do; or swap out the springs for stiffer ones.

There is no way you are at stock/factory height and bottoming out unless you have an incredibly shitty header. *edit* And by shitty, I mean a poorly fitted one. I was running a DC-sports replica from eBay I paid $30 for and it was ok.

<- Had a H22A Accord that was lowered

LMO....If it IS factory height, springs or struts are blown.
