1.6" front 1.5" rear drop

mini countryman lowered stance!

Cobra Springs/ B+G Springs
1.6" front 1.5" rear

overall the springs are very stiff, but runs about the same compare to the stock especially on the stock 17" RUN Flats. First day on the run I almost had a headache driving back with the new springs I thought it was the springs. At the same time I had a buddy in the car with me and he said it feels softer (less bouncing) compare to stock.

Images below for review;

Please review the images, i forgot to take a picture before the installation. Can someone take some pictures from the same or similar angles

Are you running stock shocks? Besides affecting the ride, any comments on changes to handling dynamics (ie any bouncing through corners).

Kept the stock shocks, want to feel the springs first before further investment. Handles corner really well and smooth, doesn't have any bouncing on corner but do get a couple when i go over a lump or the water drain.

Looks great. I'm currently talking with an authorized dealer down here and a shop where I can get them installed. I can't wait.

You probably should have kept this in the thread over in the mods section, but o-well, I guess I will post over here too.
I just tried to get a price on these and was told by the dealer only the front or rear (can't remember) is in stock and it will be 2 months till the other comes in (2wd, not sure on ALL4). Anyone hearing different? What prices are you getting them for. I am still waiting for a price quote.
