Does anyone know if Mini has factory approved a set of crash bolts that allows us to increase negative camber in front?

 

the strut top bolts are not removable so crash bolts won't work.

see part #1:

I have seen some r56'rs remove a plastic lock pin that probably gives a half a degree at best but i think your best bet to gain camber is to get camber plates.

 

Thanks for the info. Figured it was worth a try. I just gt my car, and am running it in (as of this upcoming Fri.) D Stock, so camber plates are unfortunately not in the cards, unless I decide to build out the car more and run in in one of the more built out classes.

 

stock class is the best place for MINI's. good luck

 

The way the strut mounts at the lower part won't allow any movement to gain camber anyway. It's not the normal two bolt mount like a regular strut as with subaru or toyota. Just pull the plastic pin like he said and slide the top. You don't get much. I got about a quarter of a degree.
