I am considering these plates, but would like to know how you feel these have worked for you...

Thanks a bunch!

Michael

I have their race plates and I like them for their range of adjustable caster and camber and the fact that they lowered the car some on their own, 7/16"?. Despite their saying otherwise the suspension does at least need to be somewhat unloaded to make the adjustments. I have had the plates mushroom some with the strut towers when I ran over some railroad tracks at speed and am considering having extra main plates made of either thicker or stronger steel.

Your adjustment experience mimics mine, but with a different car.

Do you have any complaints otherwise?

And how do you like your KW V3s? I assume competition means V3...

Thanks for your input.

No other complaints. Last time I heard there was no V3 for the MINI but if there is, it will just be a double adj. street coilover with the same spring rates as the V1 and V2. My KW's are the race double adjustable's and are completely customizable when ordered, for spring rate and damping rates. If you check their site they are called "Competition 2 Ways". Having had V1's I can also tell you they have a different oil inside as well and are not cold weather friendly. I will not drive mine if temps are below 40 whereas the V1's were fine.
