Most of the fixes ive heard of for the rear camber just involve a few washers. dont know which car specifically your talking about but this may help http://www.teamdelsol.com/technical/...er/default.asp hope that helps.

I have a set of them. Workes good. Appears to be good quality. But if a couple of washers will do the trick then just do that. If i would have known of the washer trick then i wouldnt have baught them.

Did you actually get an alignment, or just go based on how they look?

those washers will hold up a lot better then your typical camber kit control arm type. they noramlly freeze and might go back to negative if you hit a bump real hard.

the washers act like shims. the onlt problem i thought you would have had is that the bolts wouldnt be to long or that your tire would hit the fender lip. glad to hear this turned out for ya and that it was a lot cheaper in the long run.

by the way....how many washers did you use? and what was your before spec and after spec?

Yeah thats what I thought as well the rear camber kits look like it would go negative.
But I got a longer bolt and added four washers on each side, as a matter of fact the rear sits alil higer now and there is alil more clerance between my fender lip. ( sounds weird)..As for the specs before I dont remember what they were but they were off pretty bad.

be sure to use tempered bolts if you use cheap stuff they could break or snap off if you ever have to remove the assembly.
