Part two of the suspension upgrade brought new springs and adjustable camber plates in the front.  This proved too much of a challenge for me to attempt at home so I went to Frederick Motorsports.  I hadn’t visited Scott since I had my Alfa four years ago.  It was a challenge to wrestle the plates in and get them adjusted since the new springs were still stock diameter.  I think the setup will be better once I get some coil-overs, but for now, at least I have some camber in the front.  This photo shows the change in ride height from the new TSW Lowering Springs. Overlay on rear wheel arch shows the difference.

Here’s the  current alignment:

I’m heading off to Summit Point this weekend for a DE on the main circuit.  The weather isn’t cooperating as it’s currently sleeting outside and we expect a couple of inches of snow overnight.  MINI does really well in the wet, but I doubt I’ll really get a feel for what the new suspension can do unless it dries out and warms out a bit.
