hey guys! im new to nam, my name is Ty. ive read a thousand threads on here, and am excited to join you guys finally. im modding my 03 mcs out and have decided to start from the ground up, with new coilovers and new wheels. im not going to track my car, just want to slam it and maybe some spirited driving . im wondering has anyone used the bc extreme drop coilovers? i want to slam my ride but dont want to use v maxx.. there is alot of negative reviews on them so i was hoping to get higher quality coilovers but still drop it low. it seems my options are kw v1, bc extreme drop, or v maxx... price is a factor here, im not broke but i cant spend a fortune. and the bc extreme drops are relatively new so not to much info out there on them.
Thanks!

 

Hey mate, you sound relatively young. Same here, most people that I know are older so may not get a ton of help on this one. I would maybe go to a Honda forum or stance forum. As far as the coilovers it may be cheaper to get some extream drop springs and a camber kit. Best of luck.

 

thanks for the reply yukinoinu. yea im 25, this is the first time ive owned a nice car and have been interested in mechanics. i have alot to learn. anyways ill look into what you said. thanks for the info

 

Check out MotoringUnderground.com lots of lowered MINIs in there..

 

i have. i joined them at the same time, hoping people would have the extreme drops and be able to tell me about them.. no luck though. they are bc br type though so i think im just gonna go for it, along with rear lower control arms. the normal bc br coils have good reviews overall.

i wish they sold ap coils in the usa i would just get those n some camber plates, and rear lower control arms. apparently ap coils over in europe are made by the same people as kw and are half as much. and lower your car up to 90mm. which would lame frame lol.. not what im trying to do.

when i get the bc br extreme drops ill let everyone know how the are.

 

Sucks being so young sometimes, I am 19 and most people I know with Minis are around 30-50...

 

yea i feel you. it has its ups though. unlike hondas, vw, wrx.. there are not very many young kids with mins, so we have unique cars. and the older dudes have alot more knowledge than us, personally i have learned alot from these threads.. there isnt very much comradery though, that would be nice. especially in boise idaho, no one has minis here. there isnt a mini dealer in 500 miles
