Got them installed tonight. Took a buddy and I about 2 hours to do, including trying to figure out how to get the upper bolts undone. Hard to get a wrench/socket on the end of the bolt when un doing it. They really should have a welded nut on BOTH ends of the arm

ahh well.. Getting the alignment done in the morning.

Time to search for alignment specs, unless someone knows them off hand

 

There was some alignment specs on the H-sport site. You can find them on the downloadable directions on the Camber link page.

 

alignment done

for those searching or reading in the future.. these rule

feels no different then stock
no additional noise
adjustment was fast and simple for aligning

recommended highly


ps: these are the street version. I may even order a second pair, to get my toe dialed right down.

 

Are these the Rear lower control arms?

 

yes. rear. lower arms.

 

what was the torque spec. on that one bugs?

 

heeh check the date on that old post. It was about 4 years ago.

I've owned 3 cars since then. I barely remember what i had for lunch this AM. Remembering torque specs from 4 years ago aint happening.

If I remember correctly, I looked up the factory torque specs for the OEM arms and used that number.



Man, getting emails from olllld subscribed threads makes for a funny blast from the past.

Really funny thing is I may be getting back into a MINI this year. Whats the odds hunh?
