    Working on an overall updated classifieds and wanted section.. thought I was about there then ran into a critical issue.

    Also looks like there is a top mount plate option (a little more expensive) from Craven. Found them on Outmotoring. https://www.outmotoring.com/mini-cooper/mini_cooper_cravenspeed_strut_tower_defenders.html - Note as a member you get auto 5% off. May want to give Aaron at @OutMotoring a call. Didn't have time to check Detroit or Madness..

    Get whatever you can get and fast, since you live in pothole-plagued Columbus! They are the best at keeping the strut towers from bulging as a result of hitting potholes or whatever. I have them on all 3 of my MINIs.

    Looked at the IE fixed plates, around $200. Not looking to spend quite that much, still balling on a budget. In the future I hope to be able to add some coilovers, but I mean it is a 14 year old car now.

    I have the IE adjustable plates. They are ok but not the best. I have had good luck with them.

    We do seem to have more than our fair share of them. It's just another opportunity to keep my suspension system tuned up!

    You would be better off buying fixed or adjustable Camber plates. Those plates are too thin to make any difference.
