yes washers will fix that camber problem, but the amount of washers needed depends on how thick the washers are. You have to go by trial and error

if youre going with more than 2 washers a bolt.......you might want to look into longer bolts just to be on the safe side.......
i used 2 washers per oem bolt and it was fine......but that was like 2yrs ago so i dont really remember how fine it was.

with -1.2 and -1.3, I don't know that I would even bother. I think that my rear camber is about -1.3 *AFTER* I put the washers in Been that way for a year and a half.

damn that's almost stock camber. i wouldn't even worry about that ****. but if you are, search for washer trick, i've read some things about it, but have forgotten everything. i vaguely remember something 2 washers for every degree - but that depends on the thickness of course.
