Camber washer mod

Has anyone done this? It appears you can shim or add a washer in between the strut and the knuckle (along with a longer bolt) to gain some camber. This is fairly common on BMW E36s, and as long as you’re using a similar strength bolt to OEM (and not overdoing the washer depth), should be just as safe.

Why not camber bolts?

The fluted camber bolts only provide -0.4*, and I’m looking for -1.5 to -2*
