    Sorry....
    See Jim's comment....

    Just kidding....
    Just saw your question.
    To tell the truth, I can't really tell. I'm not sure how much the strut towers normally flex. The R56 always felt tight. But if they did flex, they have to flex less now.

    I started out with an earlier design where I was going to have an eccentric cam to take up any looseness in the strut to strut dimension. But I soon realized that would not tie the strut bar down as solidly as making it non adjustable as a fully welded structure.

    So... That's it in a nutshell.

    Hey there cop1406, welcome to M/A.:D

    It's a great place here.
    Glad you joined our growing family.

    Don't forget to load up your garage with pics, and tell us a little about your MINI.

    MINI.... Too much fun in a little box.:Thumbsup:

    Hey TATTRAT, welcome.

    Since you're in NoVa/DC area, you might want to check out DC Metro MINI's at DC Metro MINIs or our club, Hampton Roads club MINI at www.hrmini.com

    Both clubs are very active and have lots of events to attend.

    Never mind, I see you're already over at DC Metro MINI's!

    If you own restaurants do we have places to gather with a police escort (cop1406) :idea:.
