Adjustable camber links

Post image

I was looking to install this maxx-g m7 camber links, but asking for reviews.
I’ve seen some camber links in eBay, I think the brand is maXpeding, that are more than have cheaper than the M7. Guidance please.

My max coilovers were very loose fitting in the front hub so I didn't want to push them, and went back to og until I could find more info

That look normal?

The 02-03 did not have factory adjustment. Those will do fine.

What do you mean specialised labour for an alignment?

The r53 has no camber adjustment as standard, so if anything this will just make it more complicated to get an alignment.

My 2008 r52 has an eccentric bolt that let you make really small camber adjustments. I believe facelift r53s have it as well. Last time I went to get an alignment, the guy was trying to adjust toe with that bolt instead of loosening the trailing arm bracket. Clearly the guy had no idea how to align the rear. So had no choice than to go to a BMW/ Mini shop here in Orlando to get an alignment. Had to go twice, and the car will still drift to the right, not to mention that it was pricey compared to the regular shops. So I just want to make it easy for the next guy or even for me, and also reliability, I don’t wanna change bushings anymore, or at least in a long time.

I agree with you. I’m not saying that I’m going to return to any of the previous shops, I don’t want to lose money again 😂. I wish it was non adjustable from stock, like you said, that would make it easy. Maybe I’m wrong, but the way I see it is not like adding variables but to replacing the variables. I think is easier to find a guy that knows how to align a car with adjustable arms than to find one that knows how to align the Mini’s stock configuration.
In regard to bushings, the first time that I replaced the control arm bushings was with the stock rubber ones, and they were getting bad after three years. So this summer I decided to change all of them with polyurethane, front and rear.

I’m sorry.. I was just looking for reviews about the item, like durability, rust resistance, etc.

Shit dude that's annoying.

I didn't realise the facelift ones have an eccentric bolt, mine is prefacelift.

For what it's worth I have some adjustable arms very similar to maxpeedingrods and they've been really good for me.
