    My MINI is a gen 1, but I highly recommend the Ireland Engineering fixed camber plates. I'd also recommend a 19mm rear sway bar. I have an H-Sport that I really like & I have heard the NM is a very nice piece. These are nice places to start. For me it would be rear swaybar first. You could probably get a vendor to install one at the dragon.

    For R56's we've found the Vorshlags to be really great. But before you buy any you should nail down what your doing for suspension then buy camber plates that will work the best with your setup.

    I am also looking into sway bar and camber plate additions. I have two Minis, one Cooper that has a 19mm hotchkis bar and during autocross I thoroughly enjoyed the feel. Even set at the stiffest setting the car handled great. Now I have a Cooper S and I'm not sure what to expect from adding a stiffer bar. I'm thinking of the 22mm or even the hollow 25.5 and keeping it set on the soft setting to get used to it. I'm looking to increase handling. Camber plates from Vorshlag sound like a very respectable product but I'd love to hear about other brands. Helix? IE?? Would lowering springs be a better route?
