Camber plates for JCW/GP
OK, I was warned. The Mini Cooper does not have a lot of camber in front and said lack of camber will ruin your tires if the car is tracked. Yep...pretty much.
Corded a tire after two hot sessions at MSR Cresson on the 1.3 course (note this tire already had 5 track days and about 13-14 sessions so no harm no foul). Of course I was having a blast, dueling with a Lotus who just could not catch me. After the session, a crowd gathered around my GP and demanded to know what mods I had done, how could I stay ahead of a Lotus driven by a pretty good driver. I replied that I had only installed a larger diameter rear sway bar. They grumbled as walked back towards the Lotus hanging their collective heads. Score one for Mini! Of course the driver of the Mini ain't that bad either.
I digress. I need camber plates. Saw the Vorshlag, K-Mac, Ireland, Eibach and other choices. For now I am running the stock suspension. So any idea of best camber plates that allows the MOST negative camber and is track adjustable and is the most reasonable cost? I know...tall order, but am also having to buy two tires for my stock 18's and looking to get a set of dedicated track wheels / tires as well.

Can you switch to ST XTA per class or do you have to have stock suspension ?
