Mine worked with a 2" lift, they're the Speciality Products ones Chris gave you the link too. Part number is 81250. I would have posted that before but I didn't have the info at work, if you do a search for camber bolt you should find a couple of other threads with some other vendors named.

i found a kit from  eibach it contains those bolts. the kits cost about 40 bucks but claims to correct enough for a 2 inch drop.  So it should work.  now i'm debating on spending the cash on springs or just cutting the ones i have.

I wouldn't do this either, cutting springs is bad. I'd rather(and do in my civic)have a negative camber. When you lower your vehicle with aftermarket springs, it doesn't just lower it, the springs are stiffer to reduce wheel travel and improve performance. Cutting your springs will lower performance and destroy one of the 2 rates in your springs depending on which end you cut, and you will end up with a poopie ride. Not to mention it might be unlevel. I get about 2 summers out of my 17" tires on my civic, it's lowered 2.5" with no camber kit, I had one, but had to take it off 'cause my tires wouldn't tuck under the fender anymore on compression. I had to get new ones. So, my descision was Tires every 2 years, or fender & paint damage all the time. Tires are cheaper. ;)

thought could be debated. 20 inch tires in a 225 25 20 are pretty expensive and hard to find. but i dont think i'll have the tucking issues with it cause the finder wheels are a little bigger then a car.
