SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs.
I would say he is running very little camber. Most likely just OEM camber and lowered on coils. This tends to create a lot of rear camber. I want to say mine is like -4/-5 in the rear and just -1.5 in the front.
Stretch, how much camber are you running on your suspension set-up, and did you have to modify any of your wheel wells? I like the chrome too. Nice ride.
Boosted is on the money with 1.5 in the front. Did rear alignment at 2.2 degrees. Didn't mess with my arches at all. I rub on big bumps but not enough to take off any paint or plastic on my arches, they still look perfect.
Thanks for the kind words. I was never into blacking out the chrome like most are and that helps everything flow well with the polished lips I think. To each his own!
Luckily it just knocked the drain plug loose and didnt crack the pan again. Hit a giant dip in the road, my friend behind said i threw sparks every where. haha.

DRT - great looking clubbie. That first pic is real nice. No need to apologize for whoring. I think we're all guilty of that from time to time - me especially!
See? I can't see dropping the $$$ for coils on my straight Cooper, but I'm very happy with the way he sits on H&R's.
beautiful thing about having the straight cooper, is you dont really need to think too hard about performance mods. i dont know if youre into it, but if i was you id focus on making the stance as cool looking as possible. coilovers, spacers, etc. could be fun
I'm worried about getting vibrations once I slam the front. Normally those are due to drive axel issues. Hopefully I can accomplish zero wheel gap at the least without any vibrations. I'd love to have all 4 corners tucked. Unfortunately I had to raise the rear today because my tires were rubbing :(

That's how I've looked at it for the most part. Of course my wallet wouldn't stand much of a chance if I had a turbo. What some of you guys have done is awesomely expensive.

Yeah - definitely would be fun. Every time I look at brandon's Cooper or Rally's Clubbie, I think it would be nice. But as a daily driver I can think of half a dozen places along my 30 mile commute that would be a problem.
As for the rears rubbing, just remove the plastic arches and hammer out the rear fenders. Mine are pulled and rolled. As my rear fender practically sits on my tire.
