FS: Mach V Springs for R56 slightly used $100

These springs are in perfectly good condition. I had them on my car for about 2500 miles. It was my first time lowering a car and it just isn't for me. I spend too much time on dirt roads to have my MINI any lower than stock. The drop is exactly 1.2" as Mach V represents. The ride is actually smoother and quite a few interior rattles disappeared after I swapped the factory sport springs to these. Only when you hit a big dip or bump do you feel the higher spring rate. Torque steer is reduced a bit and the car reacts quicker to steering input. These springs and an stiffer rear sway bar are a great upgrade. I definitely recommend considering upgrading the shocks down the road so everything is optimally balanced but thats subjective... you'll be very impressed either way.

The price is $100 + shipping unless you are local to the Bay Area, CA, then we could meet somewhere. I'll accept cash, official check, or paypal. Feel free to reply or PM with any questions.

I didn't take a pic of the car with these springs (silly I know...) but have seen pics of other R56 with Mach V springs all over NAM.. I think there's a thread called 'Show my your lowered MINI' that has tons of pics of R56 MINI's with the Mach V's. User Minicobra1 has almost the exact same look as my car except Eibach springs (claim to lower 1" and mine lowered 1.2" so to the naked eye they look just about the same)

I'm located in San Jose, CA near 85 Freeway at Camden exit. TWISTER has expressed interest too but they aren't officially sold yet. No pressure... just let me know.

TWISTER is quick!

TWISTER's got 'em. If his money doesn't make it I'll reach out to the other interested parties.

Thanks everyone for making this easy
