i used the thinner "fender washers" on mine, so it's actually at 7 right now and could use a lil more... we'll see how i feel about bringing the brackets out much further, once my tires wear a bit.

5 on prokits. You can't get away with sportlines on the 15 dollar mod though.

i did. dont really know how much it helped, maybe i'll throw it on the alignment rack tomorrow and let you know. but as far as tire wear its nothing noticable yet, and from a glance the camber doesnt look bad. from what i remember from the last time i threw it on the rack the camber was within spec.


edit: i used 5 washers btw

One thing some of you guys fail to mention is the thickness of the washers you are using. I pulled my RRE rear camber kit last night and measured the thickness of the bushing.

It is around 3.975mm

RRE claims their set up is good for +2 degrees.

So I am going to say pusing the arm out 3.975mm = 2* correction.

Any more comment on this? please post.

Here is a conversion from Ingalls kit to cheap washers.....

The ingalls washers are 5mm thick. each washer equals 1/2 degree of camber adjustment. on prokits i used 2 5mm thick washers. bolts supplied with the ingalls kit at 10mm x 1.25 thread 1.5 inches long.
