Default Camber fix with washers??????

Well i lowered my c5 for a second time, going about an inch lower than before. After the first alignment i noticed the lower control arm bolts were maxed out. I was planning on adding washers to the front upper control arms. Is this a bad idea? I might fab some plates instead with longer bolts for more support. Do they sell plates like these? as for the rear i guess i have to just let that slide unless there is a fix(im all ears). Im also installing the bump steer kit for the front and rear, but i noticed most vendors only sell the front bump steer kit, is the rear kit unnecessary?

Any info greatly appreciated

I have a C6Z06 and this is what I do. If the C5 is similar, I see no reason why you shouldn't add washers.
