Question Rear Camber Adjustment ?????

Has anyone done the rear camber adjustment as outlined on JDMFan.com ???

http://www.jdmfan.com/technical/suspension/rear_camber

It's the one with the washers added to the bolts on the upper control arm where it attaches to the body of the car. I was wondering if anyone has experienced any negative side effects of this ??
I was discussing this camber adjustment with my mechanic, who is decently educated about Hondas, and he suggested that method of camber adjustment would create a lot of play at the point where the upper control arm connects to the body of the car and potentially snap off with the constant shifting of the washers as you drive over bumps.

Any info or insight would be appreciated.

Using a longer bolt, and a self locking washer would be a good idea if you want to attempt this.

I've used this method on my car and i havent had any problems with it. Depending on the # of washers you are adding you can use a longer bolt.
