    Congrats on the Mini.
    Looks like your on the right track for your first set of Mods.
    However, remember that once you start you will not be able to stop.

    Welcome. Can you give me heads up next time USGS has the left coast scheduled for a quake? Thanks.

    ^ heh, i'll do my best. i do mostly water science and mapping myself but i'll keep my ears open. :)

    does anyone ever sell their OEM 05-06 adjustable rear lower control arms? i think i just missed the build date for those on my car and could use a little adjustability. how little negative camber can you get at stock ride height with them?

    the neverending questions begin...time to start searching :lol:

    ^ sweeeeet! i'll send you a PM.

    i wonder if i can get rear camber down to -1.5, but i'll be happy just being able to get it even left to right. maybe i'll add some poly bushings too.

    I thought -1.5 was pretty much stock.

    well that would be nice. i guess i'll try and go a little lower, but most importantly try to keep it even.

    Welcome Andrew! Skip the IE plates....get the Vorschlags (or better yet, get Myles to make some for the MINI). Otherwise your mod list is USDA Grade A....the core things. Like a Cobb DP/AP combo for the EJ255/7

    Hey PGT! And what's your name anyway? :lol:

    I definitely like the Vorshlag plates....but the fixed IE mounts will do. Rubber and a fixed moderate increase in camber is good enough for the price they are and how broke I am.

    For now. When I do my coilovers (KW or JRZ if i'm feeling baller) the Vorhslags will definitely go on.

    It's Dan. :lol: I just had a bad experience with IE's adjustable plates...I guess the fixed plates can't be as bad given their simpler design.
