Description: At M7 Tuning, we pride ourselves in raising the bar when it comes to Research & Development, and our newest addition to our suspension componentry line sets the standard for handling and quality engineering.

Introducing the M7 Sport Springs. Months of testing resulted in a spring that takes your MINI Cooper and Cooper S to the next plateau in cornering performance, while providing you with a smoother ride and exceptional stability over uneven surfaces. Impossible, you say? We beg to differ.

The key to our Sport Spring system is the progressive rate spring. At the relatively low cornering loads encountered during your daily commute and around-town, our Sport Springs give you a ride that's actually smoother and more comfortable than the infamously jarring OEM spring setup.

Take a drive to your favorite mountain road, autocross course, or weekend track day, and things quickly get serious. As you load up our progressive rate Sport Springs at corner entrance, the springs quickly reveal their Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde nature by giving you increased grip levels, reduced body roll, and a lower center of gravity!

All the benefits of a 1.3" drop (front and rear) with no compromise in ride quality... this is what M7 Research & Development is all about!

Pros: Great feel, car looks more agressive
Cons: none so far

This is just an initial review, I plan on posting a follow up in a few weeks.

Had the springs installed 2 days ago (Orr Autosport in Eden Prairie, MN). I am running BF Goodrich g-Force T/Aź KDW tires on stock 17" S-Lites. I have the JCW tuning kit and JCW strut brace.

So far I can tell you the car feels more connected to the road, and of course the small bumps are more noticable. The steering seems cripser to me, especially quick adjustments left/right under acceleration. Seems to be a good setup so far, although I haven't really pushed (yet). I must say the look of the car is MUCH improved, fills the wheel wells nicely.

At this point I give them an 8. Once I've had a chance to carve some twisties I will post a follow-up review.
