    And poor Meb ended up never having his car handle right again. :(
    I will say a lot of his issues came with those height adjustable struts from Megan and like so many have been incorrectly told how to use them.

    I agree! This car has such limited travel, and such crappy OEM struts that it is very difficult for lowering springs to acutally improve anything. I also think that most (not all) lowering springs are very poorly designed and really not even intended to improve handling, just the "look."

    Unfortunately that seems like what a majority of the aftermarket is after for the Mini. :(

    Camber plates are not as "cool" but make the real difference. Looking forward to putting my fixed plates on soon.
