Suspension Brakes 1st Gen Most liked posts in thread: Camber and Caster plates?

youve got a point. ill go talk to stratmosphere about this.
and the 0 camber thing is just a reference to daily driving, and i dont wanna increase camber wear any longer than i need to.

and that being said, i wanna run somewhere between -1.5 - -2 camber in the front and 1.5 in the back.

and how are the IE fixed giving uneven tire wear? aernt they suppose to be -1.25 on both plates?

 

That's -1.25 in addition (note they say an increase of 1.25) to what the neg camber that already exist. From mine you can expect a total from -1.9 to -2.3 which is what I have with them... Least ways that's what my experience with them has been.

PS: I'll let ya know when I replace them andyroo..

 

Personally i am waiting on the TSWs to get into production, so Dr.Mike. Like i told Jeff, i wouldnt mind paying the machine job a visit to speed things up .

 

I have a set of early K-Mac's in the garage. I bought them used.
Plates are thin and warped, aluminum backing plates warped some and threads pulled/galled out in a couple of holes. These things could be repaired but I decided to go with the IR fixed.
The over sized urethane insert and bearings should be bullet proof in a MINI.

 

My own car as well-and-I have installed a dozen sets and the specs all fell within that range on 04-06 MINIs. I rotate my tires at 3000 miles and have seen better, not worse, overall wear than stock. I also run and recomend adjustable rear camber links on the bottom to get some real adjustment there, My rears are at -1.2 left - 1.3 right, nicely complementing the front change with the fixed plates and adjustable links.
