Suspension camber correction question
camber correction question
how much will the camber change when one lowers a mini about an inch? can the camber be corrected back to stock or really close? oh, this is for all four wheels. i am about to buy the H&R touring cup kit and need to know if i need to buy other parts to help correct the geometry; don't want uneven tire wear.
thanks
thanks

There is no camber adjustment in the front on a MINI, only Toe.
If the MINI was built in or after Jan 2005 there is a little rear camber adjustment. Check the drivers door jam for the build date.
Key after install is getting the Toe settings back to OEM Spec. Bad toe will eat tires fast.

At the minimum you'll have to get a set of Rear Control Arms. Otherwise you'll just eat through the rear tires. For the front you should be ok, but when you lower the car you will add neg camber which is good. But it may not be perfectly even left to right. So adding a set of adjustable camber plates up front would make it so you could even it out. Not totally necessary but they would be simple to install while doing your coilovers.
