Strut Reinforcement plates still needed with camber plates?
 
Hi guys. I've been reading into the mushrooming problem on our cars and i was wondering if I still need to get SR plates if i'm going to be installing front camber plates already along with my koni yellows/TSW springs. Thanks!

Strut reinforcement plates aren't needed on the 2nd generation MINIs.

Don't need the plates like Creeve said above but they won't hurt and combined with a full brace you will see some improvement in stiffness in the front end. Plus it spices up the engine by a bit which always helps....something :lol:

i see no need for it. i've just had camber plates up front and have had no mushrooming

So it did happen to me also. SOB !!
Repaced my alternator and radiator and when i put the car down
i saw the right side was higher than the left.
Raised it back up and saw this.

Now shopping for a new one. Is there a fixed camber plates that’ll fit my h&r coilovers?
