Here is a pic. Where do the washers go? I've yet to get a clear explanation of where to place them. (use photoshop or something and circle where they go) This was the most practical way I could think of to get the idea...

If you look straight back from that arm(forget the real name) that comes out with the blot that you circled. You will see 2 bolts connecting it to the car. You take those 2 bolts off and then put the washers behind there. It will move the arm out further and adjust your camber. You will get it if you see the 2 bolts in the back.

 

How many washers per bolt, and how thick should the washers be?? Thanks.

 

I dont know how many washers you will need to use. I think you can just use 3/8 washers from your local hardware store. I would try and find longer bolts if you need to use alot if washers. Just start with 1 washer and keep goin until it looks good. Then go and get an alignment done asap. Here is a pic of the 2 bolts that use the washers between the car and mounting bracket.

 

Sweet, that's exactly what I needed. Thank you.

 

Just buy a camber kit, you will be a lot happier as you will be able to set the camber precisely.

 

Anyone got a clear pics of a camber kit on their car??? Btw, what would the washer really do to the camber? How would it fix the camber and how do you know how much to start using the washer and thickness. Thanks for all help.

 

trial and error

for a 1.5" drop i found about 2 washers to be pretty effective. it was about -0.6 or -0.7 degrees for both sides. but every car is different. be sure to get that alignment when you're done

 

How are you suppose to know how much it was off and stuff by lookin at the tires? Or some kinda measurement tool? Thanks.

 

can you do this in the front? im guessing no but hey worth a shot asking.

 

nope cant do it on the front.. I've had the washer set up on my rears for about 3 years w/o any problems...

ebelp: haha u must really want to do this or are really curious.. I remember you askin like 3 times before.. I tried explaining it but I guess you didnt understand.. well at least now ppl have pix linked... anyway a shop wanted like $150 for "specialty shims"... I used 7 cent (literally) washers from home depot to "shim" it Lolz..

 

Yeah, my Neuspeed race springs are gonna kill my tires. You can look at my wheels and see how bad the camber is off. I'm gonna need like 4 washers per bolt...hehe.
