So my strut mounts are both cracked they are not to bad but they need replaced. Now since the springs have to come off I already ordered a new set. I just picked up s9me new swift spec r's for 314 $ shipped from a swift dealer they should be here in a week. Now for the strut mounts I am about to order the ie fixed plates but I heard that will add 1/4 inch of ride height and I really dont want that. The car is a DD and 9nce my upgrades are done I will auto x and take it t9 the tracis around North carolina but that will be very seldom.

I already ordered the spec r's and will be ording the h sport lca's. Now my question is what are the best ways of camber plates or mounts that dont add height. I already have m7 protectors and no mushrooming.

I know I should do strut\shocks now but it isnt in the budget I want to get konis so I will save until I can afford them. But I figured if I have to do mounts I might as well upgrade a little more while im there.
Also I read the spec rs lower .7 up front and .5 in back but others said 1 front and back what is the real drop.

 

The IE plates only add about 3/16" to the ride height. It is not noticeable. The only other option is adjustable plates. Do some searches and I think you will find that the noise and vibration goes up considerably with those. For a DD the IE plates are nice in that respect as they use a stock BMW bearing setup (Z3 if I remember right, which is stronger than the MINI part) with the rubber mount which means it stays quiet, plus the camber change is almost ideal for a street car. I just put them into my car.
