Has anyone heard of this or tried this???

I have a 2" drop on my car and my rear is cambering a lot..I waz told jus to put washers on the two big bolts..(i dunno the right name for it) that it would fix it right up..Well i waz at e-bay and i bought rear camber kits,,which were the ones that had bolts and washers..well the person sent me the wrong size bolts becuase there twice as small as my stock bolts..My question is..is just adding washers to those 2 big bolts going to fix the cambering???

the rear camber kit is consist of a extend/retractable arm. that's why it cost twice as much as the front. i doubt a few washers will fix it. if it was that easy, why would spc and ingall create huge arms when they could've save money that way?

You can only fix rear camber like that on the 00 and before civics. Like My Si had the rear camber fixed with four washers. The New one's including the Si's can't be done that way anymore Sorry but atleast now you know

that is correct from voicefid,i think kraize had bought the wrong item from ebay,if the item dont look like a big turn knuckle then u dont have the real McCoy,go to the SPC website to make sure though,find the installation procedures in the other sections,be careful if u planin on performin the job urself.i have tools in my tool box but i am no mechanic.

this was discussed awhile back... facts were never straightened out however...
someone said they took it to a shop and they said that it couldnt be done, someone tried it and said it worked...
after looking at it, it kinda seemed like it would work... i plan on trying it cause washers are only a couple bucks the most. its just a matter of my lazy butt going to the hardware store and doing the actual install... you should try it and get back to us. i personally think that it would work.
