Rear lower control arm

I need to get rear lower arm control for r56. My MCS is lowered on CROSS coilsover.... well i am seeing that im passed the acceptable camber for the rear so i need to correct it...

Looking for Hsport.. i only found one vendor selling for around $240.. any other place you guys recommend?

There is no difference between this part on the 1st and 2nd generation MINI's so any of the ones you see listed for R50/52/53 will work fine.

I am biased as live near and beta test for Texas Speedwerks. Worth looking I think.

what you guys think?

Hsport rear lower control arm
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...800&perfCode=A



Hsport sways
http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/S...egory=AntiRoll
THere are three kits available. 19mm, 25mm, and front and back one for $190.. i think the last one is best deal but do i need the fronts? I think rear is the most crucial no?

BTW... how long you think i start to notice irreversible uneven wear on my new tires?I just got some Eagle F1s. 201/50/16 from tirerack... i put about 500 miles... car has Cross c/o already... no alignment done

The car veers to the right now... haha yes i can go lower... all around... but i need to get rest of the suspension parts before i get an alignment... then ill be done with suspension...

all u need and be really happy with is the control arms and the 19mm REAR only,(absolutely no reason for front bar-and good luck installing it! if u do get it) the 19mm bar has three settings and is great for the street and the track

this may be a dumb question.... but do most alignment shops make use of the adjustable control arms?
