Ok so I got my Illumina suspension kit installed with the 1.5" drop Tokico springs. I plan on doing the home made camber kit in the rear.. my question is (not sure if this is different for every car or not) just how much more negative camber did the illumina kit bring onto the rear? I do not want to have to go in for multiple alignments, so if I could get a ballpark figure of how much the kit effects camber I can install a certain amount of washers(read 1/4" of washers gives +.5 degree of camber) before I even go to the alignment shop and hope they can get the camber within spec on the first try, thus saving me multiple alignment charges... thanks!!!
 
There's a number of variables that go into play like tire/rim size, springs used, quality of struts/shocks etc... so it does vary slightly from car to car on how camber/toe will be effected... IMO, a 1.5" drop shouldn't effect camber hardly at all if any.... A cheap way out you may want to consider is to purchase a cheap knock off ebay camber kit, they run like $50 but their adjustable and will work just fine... I remember i did the ol' washer trick for the rear and think i used 4 spacers on about a 2"in drop on my 2g....
 
Yeah I know there are variables that effect the camber, but I also know there are quite a few people on here that have the illumina suspension kit with the tokico springs.. im sure there are even some that are still using the stock gst wheels like me... guys you out there?? help!

thanks for the reply
