Well I finally got my Coil Overs installed on friday. They are H&R coil overs that i picked up from a any NAM/MINI2 member.
Here are the donuts we needed to complete the job.

And the parts

Here is how the car looked when we first installed them:



here is how it looked with just the H&R springs

Here is how the car sits now

It is lower up front and slighthly lower in the rear from the previous setup but i love it. It rides great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Special Thanks to Eric at www.helix13.com for the install.

Doug,

How much drop (range of drop since they are coilovers) from stock did you actually measure on your MINI?

Well no corner weighting yet (I know i need to get it done). i woudl have to say i am a good 2 inches lower then stock. The ttop of the front tires are perpendicular to the fender flare and your finger will hit the side of the tire if youm try to see it there is any wheel gap
