Suspension Camber kit options for stock suspension?
Camber kit options for stock suspension?
My apologies if this has already been answered, but I can't seem to find much info on:
Adjustable camber options (front and rear)
What brands are recommended by autocrossers
I'm coming across SPC most often, but would like a larger range of caster & camber adjust ability in front
Please let me know what you're running and/or what you'd suggest. It's for a 2010 base Cooper

Google can be your friend.

and a whole lot more if you check out the vendors listed in the vendor area
Edit:
As for the rears I have the H-Sport rear control arms and love them. previously I had Alta Performance control arms and one of the ends went in less than 5k miles.
As to the front I just removed the plastic pin and was able to get a sight bit more adjustment out of the front but obviously that is not easily adjustable if head to the track.

You will find that most Mini autocrossers are driving their cars in stock classes where the Mini can be the most competitive. And in stock SCCA classes it's not legal to do things like camber plates or control arm replacements.
So what most autocrossers will do is minimize rear camber to the extent that the factory alignment adjustments will allow. And in the front, they loosen the 3 top strut mount nuts and move the strut as far in to the center of the car as possible, then retighten the nuts to maximize camber. This gives a Mini between -0.6 and -1.0 degrees of camber up front legally in stock classes.

I'm going to give this a try.
From what I've found tho, most people that run SCCA down here cheat a little in stock class. Will start back running G-stock with my RSX which isn't exactly legal.
