washers work fine. i just got longer bolts and added in two washers on each bolt(2 per side). worked pretty damn good for costing under $5. theyre both at about -1/2 a degree.

my friend did the bolt/washer trick on his car, worked perfectly. Here's his how-to on it. Hope that helps. :)

nope, although i dont know anyone that actually paid big bucks for a "real" kit. its not easily adjustable, but the washers cant go wrong.

the normal rule of thumb is basically one washer per degree. and since youre at 1.25, id say just use one. it wont be perfect, but i think 2 washers would push it positive.

i have heard a bunch of different things on how much each washer equals...i have heard anything from .25 per washer to .5 per washer to 1 per washer. does anyone know for sure how much each washer equals.

when working with such small amounts, variation are possible. im lowered 2", and according to ingalls site thats about a 2.12 degree change. after 2 washers, im now at -.5, so that equates to a tad over .75 per washer.

it most likely will, it messed up mine big time. its a quick fix, so just wait until you have time to align it, and just add the washers that morning. i dont think 100miles would make a big difference anywas, but it wont help.
