I got the MINI back from Frederick Motorsports last night. I had Scott install the new adjustable Konis along with the replacement camber plates. I also had to have the front muffler replaced. It’s too soon to really offer an opinion on the new struts. My impression is that the ride home was smoother and less harsh, but that just may be because I want it to be so. I still have to figure out how I’m going to make the adjustments. Notice that the camber plate slot is smaller than the diameter of the Koni adjustment tool. Nothing is ever as easy as it seems.

The Thud was definitely gone as the front left strut is again attached to the chassis and doesn’t ride up and down in the receiver as you can see in the photos of the old camber plates.

The rear shocks are also adjustable, but to make the adjustment, you have to drop the shock, make the adjustment and bolt it back in. I’ve heard most people just leave it on the middle setting and play with the adjustment in the front to achieve the desired balance. I’ll start there and see where it goes.
