    so then I gotta get myself an alignment first.?</div>


    It is recommended. I just happened to eye it and followed my gut. i was initially going to do 5 washers but changed to 4 when i started because i was afraid 5 would be too much.</div>

    ah I see I see

    No, not the Parada II; I got rid of those years ago. Hated them, plus they wore out really quick.

    I'm talking about these:
    Yokohama

    Wanli S-1099

    Wanli Tires was actually sued by Yokohama for biting. Since being sued, they replaced the S-1099's with S-1088's

    These are great tires for $90. Who care's that they are Wanli? For road tires, they can't be beat, not even by Kuhmo.

    i just had my alignment done after tein stechs. and the guy at big o set the rear between -1.5 and -.8 because he said thats what the factory specs are supposed to be. also he said that even tho i lowered it, the factory setting still apply. not sure how that works, doesnt make sense to me but he said that they warrantee the alignment so if he was wrong and it fucks my tires, at least its their buck to fix it. anybody know if the guy knew what he was talking about?

    Hey guys, bumping an old thread, I'm gonna be doing this soon because I want to experiment with how much camber each added washer gives/takes away, what size bolts are you using exactly?

    This thread is pretty old but sience I recently droped her I was wondering do you guys think there is a max number of washers I shouldn't pass. I took her yesterday for an alignment and told the guy this method of fixing the camber and he told me he doesn't recomend it cause I could break the arm. Then he said he would do it for 120 bucks. What a dick... Has anyone had any issues wit this? I'm probably going to do it this weekend

    Just read this from top to bottom and found everything I need. Hell! Even a link to a parts place that will ship exactly what one would need to get it done, Thanks!
    Im putting on some new KYB GR2 and springs for ~1.7" drop (drop isn't my primary goal, OEM performance and replacing old parts is my goal). Ill report what the shop says my camber is after the fact and more if I do the $12.95 camber kit .... shipped!
