I have no idea.
I am going to have the car professionally setup at a place where they know what they are doing... not Midas or joints like these.

They look weaker than the standard arms. 8)
What is the point of adjustable suspension? There is a right adjustment and a lot of wrong adjustments. With these it just makes it easier to get it wrong! :lol:

They've come a long way since the 60s when I used to cut `em, space `em 1/8", and weld back together with the old arc welder! 8)

Being a Mini man, i thought you would have known the factory tolerances of 2 degrees in camber on the front wheels.
Thats astonishing and disgusting.
The idea is to get each side the same, at the "optimum" degree.
I am unsure what it is, and its shiny, and costs money, so it appeals to me.

2? isn't that bad.
I have seen Holden specs that range from +2? to -6?

Rear camber brackets are floating around somewhere.
I think they got put on a subframe which is now at Brickworx.
But they are great - $95 dollars exchange, from Brickworx.
We have a guy that engineers them for us.

Here is an old and dirty set that are fitted to a Rover.
