how you figure? a washer and a longer bolt are the EXACT same thing that they try to pass off as a shim style rear camber kit.

i don't think washers have different thicknesses. that's all you're really worried about when you're correcting camber. otherwise whatever the bolt will fit through

there is some variance in hardware store washers...the ones htat come from ingalls are all matched.
If getting washers and longer bolts from the hardware store i would jsut make sure that the stack of 3 washers is all the same for all 4 bolts.

true, but the general rule of thumb is .5 degree of camber for every washer. i doubt that those fractions of a millimeter are gonna make that big of a difference.

ingalls seems to feel that 1 washer is .25 degrees...least so it says in the paperwork that comes with the washer kit they sell.
