B-Spec Official Camber Plates arrived!

Looks like the B-Spec parts have started to ship! I ordered the Camber Plates (Vorshlag) from MINI of Charleston as soon as they sent out the Parts List email, and I just got these today:

I won't be campaigning a B-Spec car anytime really soon, but I'm planning to buy some of the B-Spec parts through the official channels so if I ever DO decide to do it, it will be a much smoother/cheaper process.

Very nice, looks just like the aftermarket ones save the red.

Yeah, they look to be really high quality. I'm impressed with the construction.

You're right. The plates are the same ones that Vorshlag sells already. However, they have extra parts/hardware to ADD to their stack height. B-Spec requires a certain rocker panel height, and even at max height on the KW V1s, the car is a little too low, so they built some extra height into the plates.

That said, I plan to install mine without the extra height adjustment parts because I don't have to meet that minimum height requirement for now.

I'm waiting to hear back from Vorshlag on exactly what the parts/installation difference is. I'll post that info on my website where I'm keeping track of B-Spec developments and such once I have it. I'm trying to get as much B-Spec MINI info together in one place as possible.
