    Thanks for the heads up. I'd say oem or IE fixed plates. The IE plates are beefy.

    eMINIparts.com can get you the oem pdq.

    The father of one of our apprentices works at the Monroe, MI, facility. This is, I believe, just a head office/R&D/test facility, and all of the production is done overseas.

    IE fixed are beefy, but you need to be sure your chassis is aligned (camber) before installing. IE adjustables require some "finesse-ing" and maintenance to make work well, but I got a set cheap and am using them successfully. I now have some OE's lying in wait, just in case.
