Default For those of you who have done the washer trick
How many washers did you guys use? I thought the average was about 2, but on mine, I'm using 4 and I still dont think its enough. Could something be wrong? I'm lowered about 1.5-2 in the rear

I remember reading somewhere that it was 2 washers for every inch that you were lowered. I haven't done this on my car yet but it's on the list of things to do.

on the top control arm in the rear(the one that bolts up to the chassis) you take the two bolts out and put washers on them to adjust the camber in the rear. more washers mean more positive camber.

i would have boughten the bolts from an autoparts store tho so you have the highest grade possible (automotive bolts) cause it would suck if one broke when driving
