hay guys
just put super lows in my tj
if i replace the upper control arm bolts in the rear with slightly longer ones and space it out with washers or somthing say 5-8mm in theory this should reduce the amount of camber on the rear.
will this work??

maybe... sounds real safe.. washers and all :nuts:
why not just get proper camber adjustment kit...
superlows arent going to give you that much nc/\ anyway maybe worth doing if you go a fair bit lower but i wouldnt bother

wow rippoff lol
there is 2 kinds of camber adjustment though, that kind and the cheap ar$e kind i got quoted $80 fitted...
the factory adjuster adjust the rear toe but also effects the camber but only a tiny bit like 1/4 degree or something, but properley aligned with factory specs no aftermarket gear just stoopid springs you should still be able to get it within factory specs

Yep it'll work.
I did it to my magna 6yrs ago but instead of using washers i used proper wheel alignment shims that are used on the older model holdens (HQ-WB type) and also ford falcon (XK-XP models) which had shimmable top control arms on the front also make sure you use at least grade 8.8 bolts
My car has done many many track days and has never had any issues with the setup.
That is all the whiteline rear camber kit is too.

If you do what your thinking mate (with longer bolts and spacers) that is EXACTLY the same as $150 whiteline item
