Just got some H&R springs for my R60S (SNR control arms are on the way) Anyway, I was checking out pics of dropped MINI's and came across yours. It literally stop me in my tracks...without a doubt you have one of the phattest MINI's I've ever seen. There's nothing overdone. Everything is tight! In a word, crisp! Nice job!

probably 18x8.5 ET45 to account for the wheel adapters needed to run a 5 lug.

thx, i love it! i have vibration, but probably because the upper motor miunt is shot- only under hard acceleration does it vibrate.

i suspect i will have cv axle issues down the road, but i dont drive the car much since i work from home and its 1 of 5 vehicles we have. its strictly pleasure use, so havent had any issues that most daily driven folks might have.

we also work on our own cars, mods and repairs, so it doesnt really matter what breaks

Thats low. Watch those speedbumps. Rare one with LY with aero painted body kit. Nice find. Might be going through a couple CV / axles. But if its a show car and not driven all the time. Should not be that bad.

I have always loved slammed cars. Ever since I was young and to this day at 46 I still think they look so great. I couldn't have one for practical reasons but that looks great.
