i use 4 - 1/16in washers in my rear on a 00 civic coupe, works fine, still a lil neg camber tho. If the camber is that bad at 4 washers then jest opt for a rear adj. camber it, It'll save you the guess work

I've been useing 2 washers for 5 years or something with no issues. My last set of rear tires lasted me through 3 sets of front tires. I think i would like a third though, but I remember their not being enough room for three?

I used 3 washers on my 2.25" drop, and I have about -1.5* of camber in the back.

as long as you have less than -2.0* camber, you'll be fine. A little negative camber in the back helps in curves h:

thanks

too bad its sitting in the shop right now. getting the harness that runs through the driver door replaced, since the wires kept cracking and making contact, causing various things short out :sad:

but the plus side is I'm renting an '05 maxima in the meantime :driving: :grinpimp:

:werd:

i used either 35mm or 40mm, I can't remember which it was. The stock size is 20mm, but the 1/2" washers can add up to some thickness...
