Can someone help me identify those wheels.
If the owner of this car is around, what are the specs of the wheel (et, size) on what drop.
Thanks.

For all of you who have lowered your Mini on springs,

Are camber kits necessary? I am thinking about lowering my Mini, but not sure if i need to purchase a set of cambers for installation.

Anyone has any opinion, fact or comments regarding camber?

You will be fine without camber plates. It would be a good idea to get some adjustable rear lower control arms though. After I lowered mine, my front camber was still within the factory specs. Your rear camber will be way out without adjustable lower control arms. You will wear the insides of your rear tires without them.

I just had Bilstein PSS9s installed.

Rear cannot go any lower or Tires will rub. I'm running a 17x7 40 offset w/ 215/45/17s. Had to go with -2 degrees camber to fit..
