Also Brad I think these only affect your castor not the toe in, negative camber arms for that I think?

Yeah, castor only. But adjusting castor on a Mini also affects the camber a bit. better buy adjustable bottom arms too... :lol:

Hey Brad the bloke that I bought off on Ebay will include some poly bushes for about 3 pounds. I think I paid 16 pounds for the same ones as Minstar. Total landed here inc. poly bushes was like $80.

toe is adjusted with the tie rod ends - on the end of the steering rack.... camber is adjusted with negative (or adjustable) camber arms, and caster is adjusted with adjustable tie bars

toe is the adjustment of which way the wheel points front to back
camber is the adjustment of the lean of the wheel 'across' the car
castor is the adjustment of the vertical lean of the suspension hub front to back

here's a pic :)

(looking at the spelling, I think it's castEr, not castOr, that's sugar...

This is the bloke ...... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43120&item=7981877067&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Don't compete over this one boys, as soon as one auction ends he'll put another one up. Might be worth sending him an email to see if he'll do a buy it now for 16 pounds plus bushes.
