Well I took it to Tire Kingdom tonight and here's what happend:
Print off: FRONT (L/R) CAMBER: -1.1 and -1.3 TOE: -0.03 and -0.08 REAR (L/R) CAMBER: -2.3 and -2.1 TOE: 0.01 and 0.04 The mechanic told me that the toe is fairly good and not worth the $65 to adjust what little it can be adjusted (I ended up not paying a dime tonight). That rear camber though is massive. I have to get it adjusted somehow. For a temporary solution I will raise the rear end up a little (I'm sitting on coilover sleeves). I might have to use the bolt/washer method to finalize the camber problem in the rear when I get the time. Does anyone know the specifics on the bolt size and washer sizes used to adjust the rear camber? I rather know and buy the parts before I take my car apart.

I got the bolts and washers tonight and I'm planning on installing them tomorrow (Friday).
Are any of these bolts a bitch to get out? Of course I havent touched them before, so they have 9 years of road grime stuck on them. Is there anything else I should know before trying this?

MAKE SURE when you adjust your rear camber you roll your fenders too, cause your tires are gonna rub really bad. and yeah dude your rear camber is really bad.

Well I did everything today. The install was very easy after you take off the entire piece (dont know what it's called) instead of just the two bolts that needed to be replaced. I placed two washers on each bolt (8 in all) and it brought my rear camber down to -1 degree, so I am well within factory spec. I got it adjusted today and all of my toe is in spec, so the only thing off is the front camber.
Oh, and my tires are no where near rubbing

good shit, If getting a camber kit dont waste money on Skunk 2, Get ingalls. Skunk 2 throws their stamp on their kits. Just a heads up for you.
