Default Camber Washer Trick

I want to change the rear camber of my 2004 accord and have found many places that talk about how to do the camber washer trick. My question is what is the pitch of the bolts that I have to use? I've heard some use 1.25 and other say 1.5, what is the pitch of our stock bolts?

yeah, I looked at my car a few hours ago and found that the suspension arm is welded onto the chassis and there is no bolt to replace. I want to change my camber because I installed lowering springs and just got some new wheels and the rear camber is noticablely sticking out. I wanted to do the washer trick because camber kits are so friggin expensive. Wish there was an easier way.

you can only do it with accords from 90-97...sell the car and get a cb7...then you can do the washer trick if it makes you feel better.

Do a search, I posted a thread on how to install both styles of 6th gen camber kit, the '03-'06 Accord uses near the same kit, different part number but same style 5 link. You will need to do this to change camber.

Will the install be a DIY? www.helminc.com for the serv. manual.
Plus the thread of my 6th gen install is nearly the same as well if you need a guide. Just besure to torque everything to spec. 45 ft-lbs. should do ya and you'll be golden.
