To get more camber on the rear of Gen 1 (R53) Minis, you will need to replace the non-adjustable OEM lower control arms with adjustable arms. You may want more camber if you are tracking or racing your Mini. These arms are made by Ireland engineering and were ordered from mini mania (p/n G2NMS2215).

You can read in the comments about these arms making noise. I ended up installing grease fittings in both ends of both arms and greasing them like crazy which has almost eliminated the noise.
