it depends on your drop... diff cars will respond w/ diff camber settings. get a free check if you can and adjust from there.

2-3 1.75mm washers (thickness of a US quarter) = freak, 0.4-0.6 degrees of correction... I dont know exact because I think the measuring machine was not perfectlly accurate.

one side was -1.4 and ended up -0.8 w/ 3 washers i believe, but the other side was -1.0 w/ 2 washers and became -0.4

JJJ - I don't recal the SPC made control arms for the front, not to my knowledge, can you plz tell me where u get it from?

Hm.........So to eliminate all the camber problem of 2.5" drop, I will need 4 freakin long-Super strong-bolts for the rear and hell lot of washers ? Right?

For the front, my best bet would be with the camber kit? Preferably control arms instead of ball joints, if I can't find control arms, will be okay with the joints?

Thanks again you guyz

i had a 1"-1.25" drop for 2-3 washers, and it wasnt perfect, will be using 4-6 per side later to get it to 0 degrees.

AGAIN it depends on the thickness of the washers. I measured mine and told you the thickness.

btw, i have a set of front control arms off a 94 ex if you want to get the ball joints but dont want to press your current ones off. They came w/ the boots busted so replacing the ball joint w/ camber adjustable ones would work perfectly.

JJJ - i was about to get the SPC EX arm with ball joint mounted. THink it works better though.

I'll try to see what I can do, seem like getting the front ball joint is a must.

My 91 is a couple inches lower. almost tucking in back, but front with like 2 finger. The rear are about -3 deg, and front are -1.5 with camber kits set farthest out before hitting the fender. Anyone know what size the bolts are on the back, so I can get a little longer one. And is it bad that both my front upper ball joints are busted open. that happened when I lowered.
