Anyone have experience with these?

I would spend the extra money and get the ireland ones.

 

I ordered some rear control arms from this seller and they were very high quality. The guy manufactures the stuff himself and seems very knowledgeable and sharp. I had some email communication with him and he was always very helpful. I would not hesitate to order these. Just keep in mind that plates such as these will raise the front end ever so slightly (amount of the plate thickness). The I.E. brand ones will also.

 

Figured they would do so, thanks for the info!

 

That atually looks like a decent part, despite being on ebay. It's made by somebody who knows at least a little about MINIs. I'd say, give it a go and let us know what you think.

 

Those control arms look good except for the quality of the spherical bearings. He took the time to get weather boots, which is a plus, but I'm afraid that the bearings will start to clatter and potentially bind. Let us know.

 

I have his Control arms and have been running them for about a year. When I first got them they made a little noise but quieted up within a few weeks.

This guy makes quality parts. I would have no problem trying out ANYTHING he makes.

 

The nice thing about his parts, is he designs them himself. If you have something like an M7 Strut bar, he will give you new bolts to work with the upper strut mount and fixed camber plate to accomodate to the plate as well as the M7 plate so you have more threads. He knows about optional mini parts most owners runs and will accomodate to them, just shoot him an email through ebay and he will work with you. Great guy!

 

He has a site too. http://www.mcspecial.net/

He emailed me the instructions for these even before I bought them. I will be getting them shortly.
