corohio1977: One of my H-sport springs in the rear snapped and tore out all my sensors and ruined a stainless steel brake line. Very rare for something like this to happen and it was obvious there was a defect in the metal where it snapped. I never did get in touch with Hsport (mainly because the springs were given to me by a friend) and eventually threw them out. Rather than fool around with it, i just went ahead and updated to BC racing coilovers.

I had the Hsports paired with Koni Yellows and like them alot (until that happened). I just wanted to go with the coilovers to have something lower and be able to adjust the compression/rebound in the rear alot easier. Everything else Hsport that I have (front and rear swaybars, rear lower control arms, and the camber plates which were on the Koni's that I sold) were top notch.

 

@ UKCoopeR: gotcha'.
@ Darkness: that sucks dude - hopefully no one was injured/no major damage. i'll probably stick w/them [H-Sport] once I get around to fooling w/the suspension.

 

Does anybody have anything different to show us? I think this threads means base Coopers, but, show us what you got!

 

92,000 miles of pure fun..

 

You would think that after almost 2 years of me being away from NAM that this thread would have a 1000 pages...but it doesnt...so i will add one more. This was taken yesterday. Cage, Harnesses and race nets need to go back in....

 

yo .... first of all i want to say that your mini is just plain nasty. second of all are you going to the AMVIV vegas thing? I really wanna see it in person. Anyways... i would post sum pics but i wanna be in a pic worthy area lol.

 

I think that the majority of photos go to "Show us your R56".....

 

It looks so mean, I love it!

This is my trusted companion, Daisy.

 

Man it looks so clean! i have the same r50 but with stock exterior.lol and 3 dents on the doors (combined). some people need to be more careful :/

 

 

Only have the wheels done.... For now.

 

Hoping to bring this thread back to life! Thinking about changing the grill on mine soon (M7? Aero? JCW?) and would love to see what other R50 owners have done to switch up the look of their Coopers.

 

Really digging your Mini. What is the make of that Carbon Fiber Hood? Also, what are the make/style of those rims? Remind me of the RSe07's that NM offer.

 

Actually, i'm looking a bit more closely..those actually look like advans.

 

M7 grill would be kinda trick on your setup!

 

i was out watching fireworks on the side of the road with my girlfriend and i managed to get a couple shots for fun.

 

Awesome color, sweet setup. Very sharp.

 

Just bought her...Scarlett!

 

I picked a grille and S spoiler up locally and the use for the spoiler is obvious, but the slatted grille is pepper white and will need a color change. I have the all chrome prefacelift and wonder if anybody has any pics of a cr/w with a white slatted grille?
