None of those car parts will help your current issue but a trip to the optometrist to correct your vision will do wonders.

 

Get an STD!

Strut Tower Defenders - CravenSpeed Online

 

I have IE fixed camber plates & man are they beefy. They have been though a lot of real road driving, bumps & even yumps. If you buy a set of those they will likely outlast your MINI. Nothing against those strut defender things, but why no put I figure if you are there the fixed camber plates will do double duty for you. Strength the strut tops & give you some added handling benefit. Make sure to buy from a forum sponsor.

Don't get STD's, how will you explain that to your wife? :ihih:

As always buy from a sponsor who supports us all & do what Dave says, get your eyes checked. :smilewinkgrin:

 

I have the fixed IE plates & they work well for me, although I am fixed in my ways. Adjust-ability is good, but how often do you guys who have them change your camber? When you do is your alignment reset on a rack? My guess is most folks set them once & that's it.

 

Those ALTA PSRS things never worked and fell apart. The only way they will hold is if you welded them on.

 

I got my strut towers flattened back out and strut tower plates installed. If you get strut plates, the VIP custom plates are top notch quality.

 

Soooo I hear you saying you need a big set of fog lights. :crazy:

 

I have Helix Thermonuclear bomb proof Adjustable Camber plates on the bottom and M7 (yes I said M7) strut bars end plates on the top. (No M7 bar)

The top of the MINI strut tower is as thick as a slice of cheese between two thick beef patties.

Can you tell it's Lunch time for me. :lol:

 

I have the IE adj. plates and really like them.

 

Ugh dropping the rear subframe of a 10 year old car in the grass with no air tools... That should be fun!

Who's gonna hold the beer?

 

Just dont get Marzo mixed up with Marzo's dad from last year...

 

I've read somewhere that the bolts should be parallel to each other. The inside bolts look like they are skewed towards the center of the car. I did a quick test fit and the plates don't sit flat so...time to pull out the hammer and 2x4.

 

I got some 1/4" aluminium plate and made my own anti mushroom plates for nowt! a strut brace might help too.

 

I have Craven Speed strut tower defenders fitted to the Coop. Going to fit Ireland Eng fixed camber plates when it is time to replace the shocks.

 

I don't believe there is any caster adjustment unless you go with the PSRS LCA bushing from ALTA.


And Crash, I haven't changed my camber settings but it does get tweaked by the alignment god when I get it checked. It also allowed me to get a bit more camber and made sure each side was the same.

 

The steel sleeve did indeed want to work itself off, so I had the sleeve tack welded on and have had no issues with them.
