all you need is a longer automotive grade bolt and a bunch of washers to replace the stock one, the washers, push out the control arm, acting like a camber kit

Hardened bolts are always a good alternative also, being that is a major suspension component. I used 16 per side (8 per bolt).

In most cases, just washers are needed, no new bolt. I had a 2" drop and they only used washers.



I believe they remove the #61s and put the washers between #31 and the body, then put the #61s back in. Thsi pushes the rear upper control arm out forcing positive camber (reducing negative). Depending on how far out it needs to vome, longer bolts *might* be needed for #61.

i dont know how u reused the same bolt. even with one washer it was impossible. i had to use a 70mm bolt and two washers which were about 2mm each. im dropped 2" in the rear. i did post about this and what parts are needed. should come up in a seacrh.
