Fitment Notes

• Designed specifically for lowered MINI Cooper applications - most effective when used with lowering springs or coilovers that introduce negative camber beyond the OEM adjustment range
• Each link arrives pre-set to stock length - this serves as the zero-camber baseline from which adjustments are made toward negative camber
• Adjustment is made by loosening the lock nuts and rotating the billet aluminum hex center; re-tighten lock nuts and apply blue threadlocker once the desired setting is confirmed
• Applies to rear lower lateral link position only - does not replace the rear upper links
• A full professional rear wheel alignment is required after installation
• Hotchkis rebuild kit (P/N 13800RB) is available separately for replacing worn polyurethane bushings - contains 8 bushings, 3 grease packs, and 4 grease caps

Features

• Adjustable rear camber range of 0° to -4° (negative four degrees) - restores proper rear camber on lowered MINIs and enables fine-tuning for increased rear grip on the street or track
• Two-piece tubular steel outer arm construction - stronger and more durable than OEM stamped steel links while remaining lightweight
• Billet aluminum hex center body allows tool-free camber adjustment - simply loosen the lock nuts and rotate the hex center by hand or with a wrench to dial in the desired setting
• Greasable polyurethane bushings at each end via Zerk fittings - allow periodic lubrication to extend bushing life and maintain quiet, rattle-free operation
• Ships fully pre-assembled and pre-set to stock length - no initial setup required; install and align
• Designed and tested for both street and track use - suited to daily-driven lowered MINIs as well as autocross and track day builds
• Direct replacement for OEM rear lateral links - bolt-on installation with no cutting or modification required

Product Description

The Hotchkis 13800 H-Sport Rear Camber Links are an adjustable rear lateral link set engineered specifically for the MINI Cooper and Cooper S across the R50, R52, R53, R55, R56, R57, R58, R59, and R60 chassis platforms. When a MINI is lowered with springs or coilovers, the rear suspension geometry shifts, pulling the rear wheels toward positive camber or leaving insufficient negative camber to maintain optimal tire contact under cornering load. The stock lateral links offer no adjustment range - the 13800 links solve this by providing 0° to -4° of rear camber adjustability, allowing owners to restore proper alignment after lowering and dial in the exact negative camber setting that suits their driving style, whether that's a mild street tune or an aggressive autocross or track day setup.

Each link is built from two tubular steel outer arms joined by a billet aluminum hex center. Adjustment is straightforward: loosen the lock nuts on each side of the hex body, rotate the center to lengthen or shorten the link (adding or removing negative camber), and re-tighten the lock nuts once the target setting is reached. The links arrive fully pre-assembled and pre-set to stock length, which corresponds to the OEM camber baseline - this makes it easy to return to zero as a reference point and adjust outward incrementally. Polyurethane bushings at both ends are greasable through Zerk fittings, allowing periodic maintenance to prevent noise and extend service life significantly beyond OEM rubber bushings. A torque of lock nuts with blue threadlocker after final alignment confirmation is recommended to prevent setting drift over time.

These links are designed for use at the rear lower lateral link position and do not replace the rear upper links. Installation is bolt-on with no cutting or chassis modification required, and a full professional rear alignment is necessary after fitment. For owners whose bushings show wear over time, Hotchkis offers the 13800RB rebuild kit containing replacement polyurethane bushings, grease packs, and grease caps - specifically formulated for these links and not intended for use with OEM links.
