Default rear camber adjustment

I know that it's common to use washers on the upper control arm, moving it outward, to adjust the rear camber.

What I'd like to know is that the total thickness (height of the washer stack) people have had to use and what amount the car was lowered (causing the camber problem).

I have skunk2 coilovers and dropped the rears ALMOST all the way down, maybe 3/4" left on the perch or so?

I'm not sure how much of a drop that is, but I think I used two washers on each bolt in the back, and I think they were maybe 1/8" thick each? Something close to that. I dont have my car at my house right now, otherwise I'd go check for you, but hopefully that can help a little.

I added one, and just let the car down onto the ground, eyeballed it to see how straight up and down the tire was or not, and then added another washer and it looked pretty straight up-and-down. I drove several thousand miles on it like that and the tires wore down evenly.
