H&R lowering Springs

Has anyone installed H&R lowering springs to their MCS. I was wondering if it would have a negative effect on the handling or a positive one. Also is the ride much harsher. MINI-Madness only sells 40mm lowering does anyone know where I can get 30mm>?

Glad to hear people like these springs. I was turned off of H&R from previous experience. The H&R springs that i had on my GTI were engineered by an idiot. The springs lowered the car too much and were too soft. This resulted in 3 blown bilsteins and a bouncy ride. Lowering a car too much can actually ( and often does ) degrade the handling.
