Looks good, I might go a little more aggressive on the toe out on front, but, thats just me, maybe 1/8" or so, but your Mini might dance around a bit more with normal street driving if you hit a bump. On the rear, try to dial out as much camber as possible(-.8 to -1.2 or so) and make sure they are more or less even from left/Right. On the Front, make sure everything is even there as well, if not, the subframe could be slightly out of alignment and would need re-aligning, thats a common problem.

Are you trying to have ultimate fun in your MINI or be seriously competitive? If the former, and you want to mod then go STX (remember there are some mods that will take you out of STX, a pulley for example). There is an STX driver in the DC region that fares well but generally the MINI is not the car in STX.

If you want to compete for first place then try G stock.

Is this simply because there are more running in GS, or do we have a disadvantage running in STX?

Thanks much!

Falken RT-615 205/40/16 on my old stock x-lites
Aligment to 1/16 toe out front, 0 negative camber rear
Scroth Harness
Replacement air filter
Milltek or custom cat back (time and money permitting)

Thanks to all for the assistance this forum has provided...

Just as Craig said. Front toe 1/6 out each side for a total of 1/8 out. My rear toe is 1/16 total out. I have had zero street drivability issues. The Milltek isn't worth the money. Go with a Supertrapp $180 and dump the weight in the rear. It isn't the prettiest thing out, but it is the most effective.
