rear washer camber mod?

Hey all,
Curious to see how many of you are using washers in the back to get negative camber

Someone on here used to sell precut washers that all you had to do was put on and it was ready to go. Funny you put this post up, that's what I was going to ask about today is the method and what you need to do for it to work on the Yaris.

If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

As far as I know, it helps your rear turn in. Some people do it for looks, some do it for handling modification.

Nope, more negative camber in the rear will, generally hurt handling characteristics on a fwd car if it is more than the front's negative camber. It is mainly for looks, if that's your cup of tea.
