i need someone to install my tokico blues and h&r springs.. and if any of you guys or girl did the washers trick, i need to get that done also... i don't want to take to some shop and they over charge me like $150 ... that's the lowest price gave me...
The washer trick works fine... I have friends who've done it... rule of thumb is one washer, for every inch of drop.
You are probably not going to find any shops that will do the install for less than $100, unless you get a hook up.

I bought mine at home depot I only got washers but depends on how bad your camber is and how many washer you put on you might have to get new bolts.
parts
1 - Washers, use 3/8 galvanized washers (from Home Depot). For the Eibach Pro-Kit (1.3") drop, I used 2 washers on each bolt. And you got 4 bolts, hence you will need a total of 8 washers.
2 - you might need new bolts if you put more than 2 washers. If that is the case, use M10 x 45mm bolts. Home Depot has them, Four fine thread machine screws (M10 x 1.25 45mm bolts), (Home Depot part #18531). The are cheap, so pick your bolts of varied lenght (any from 30mm to 45 mm is fine), and if you don't need them, just return them.
3. Tools (14mm socket and ratchet)
Procedures
1. Jack up the corner of the car that you are working on. Use stands if you have them, I definately recommend fixed stands to put under the car. Make it a must. Safty first!!
2. Take of the wheel.
3. See the 2 M10 bolts holding the Rear control arm, I will refer to them as bolt1 and bolt2, in no particular order.
4. Unscrew bolt1 out. You will need so force to loosen the screws. This is where handy tools come in if you have them.
5. LOOSE bolt2 only, just enough so you can slide the washers into the bolt1. Once the washers are in, screw bolt1 back in. In enough that it wouldn't come out. Don't tighten it all the way as you will need to put washers on bolt2 now.
6. Unscrew bolt2, and put the washers in.
7. Tighten both bolts, and you are Done.
8. Do the other wheel. and I hope you enjoy your cheap, but effective rear chamber fix.
And that should do it.

The only thing I could not find were the bolts but maybe that was just my home depot. So i just did washers to see if that worked before I went to lowes and it all worked out just fine for me.
As far as finding the info I just did a search on the site so really I am not that great. J/K cuz I have done it.
NOTE: One thing when you are taking your origional bolts off losen one but do not take both off at the same time or your screwed. I had to use to jacks cuz I did that the first time. Not sure if it says anything about that. So just do one side at a time. Also will help if you have to people. I only had one and it sucked. It was pretty hard for me to bust the bolts I ended up busting my hands a few times. So if you have any power tools that would help a lot.
