Does anybody have K-Mac rear camber adjuster kit? Advertising says that they give you both camber and toe adjustment, which means to me that they are for both upper and lower control arm adjustment. However one vendor says that all 4 adjusters go on the lower arms . I'm so confused!
HELP!!!
Thanks, Joe

 

I had to wait till monday, but now I can answer my own Questions.
Since I've been planning to lower "What's Her Name" For quite sometime, I've been looking at options to get the desired camber and toe adjustments.
It seems most MINI owners are going w/the aftermarket adjustable lower control arms. This gives you the camber adj, but does nothing about the toe adjustment. Most owners who want toe in adjustment are opting to buy another set of adjustable control arms for the top. For a total cost of $400- $500 For all 4 arms.
I remembered seeing two advertisments in the first Issue of NEW MINI, by Regal Autosport for K-Mac rear camber/toe adjusters.They replace the end bushings w/ cam type adjustable ones,and the kit comes w/ a bushing removal tool. One of the ads showed two of the adj bushings and gave a price of " from 85Pounds "($153). I noticed that all of the advertisments that I saw of this product in the USA, pictured four bushings @ $345,
discounted in some cases to $249.95.
Considering these two observations, I concluded that I could have adjustable lowers w/the purchace of two bushings or both uppers and lowers w/ the purchace of the 4 bushing kit.( although there is one vendor who advertises that all 4 have to be installed on the bottom arms. This created my confusion.)
FOR THE GOOD NEWS
I just got off of the phone w/Anthony of PROMINI in Tyler Tx, after a very informative and interesting conversation. At first he told me that the kit which they advertise @ 249.95 was for only two bushings and that if wanted to be able to have the uppers adjustable, I would have to purchase two kits. I asked if they sold many of these and he said yes, that they install them on other BMW cars all the time, and please wait , while he checked. He came back on the phone and told me that there are in fact 4 adjustable bushings and the extractor in the kit, @ $ 249.95.
So there you have it Boys and Girls, You can have ALL 4 REAR ADJUSTABLE CONTROL ARMS FOR $249.95.

DANGER WARNING: Anthony and I also conversed about failure of the stock control arms. He told me of some people who had them snap or bend, but that in every case, it turns out that a tow truck had bent the lower arms, since this is where they like to hook onto the MINI, for towing, as they are too low to attach in the front. --Make Them Use Your Two Hooks!!!---
