REAR strut tower deformation?
After reading all this talk on strut tower deformation (aka Mushrooming), I got to thinking: Will/Do the rear strut mounts have the same (or worse) problem???

NO rear mushrooming problem that I am aware of.

Probably because the MINI's weight distribution is like 62(f) / 38(r).

So there is more weight up front.
