Default The Washer Trick...

Can someone please explain this trick? I have heard a lot of people talking about avoiding a camber kit when a simple washer or two can fix the problem. Im not even sure I need one yet, Im getting S-Techs and Tokico HPs. I know its only about a 1.5 inch drop, but would like to know this trick if its needed.

ok the washer trick is a quick and easy way to adjust the camber angles of your car. Search through the forum as this is a very popular way to adjust your camber angles.

its when u place washers inbetween the upper inner bushing arm and the body of the car.doing this adjusts the camber outwards a little insted of inward like so it wont look like this /-- \. i doubt u'll need to do it with a 1.5" drop. mines lowered prolly close to 2" or more and i only used 2 washers.
