Pretty quick work by the guys at H&R.

Part number: 28813-1

Lowers the car 30mm front and rear.

They are 139 euro's on German eBay, which seems good value

 

I got to have them...

 

When I added H&R lowering springs to my R53 MCS, the ride was far too harsh...actually, a major reason why I sold the car. I haven't installed lowering springs in any car since.

I also don't like that a car's front bumper and mid jack points can scrape over speed bumps (depending on their height) after the car has been lowered.

But I can't deny that most cars look much better when lowered!

 

The big question is this: can they/you put the lowering springs on the adjustable suspension without screwing it up, or just use them with the standard suspension? I would think the latter but I don't know. These lower the car 1.25", more than the JCW suspension I think it's less than an inch.

 

I never ordered the EDC suspension for this very reason!

I knew I would be swapping it out for something different in the future & I didn't want the complications!

 

I would love to lower my MINI, but not at the risk of bottoming out constantly on speed bumps, driveways, etc. Too many bumps around here.

 

Has anyone put these springs in yet? Would love to see pics of a dropped F56!

 

There is a guy on Instagram with some fitted - nowhere near low enough sadly :(

 

I figured as much since the gap is quite a bit more than the R56 and the H&R springs for the R56 had a more aggressive drop.

Coilovers will be the way to go on the F56.....

 

KW have coilovers made and they are on a test car.

Should be able to order within the month I hope

 

if H&R springs are finished it's only a matter of time before they have cup kits and coilovers. That is their normal progression of products to market. I love KW but may opt for H&R coilovers if I don't go with something adjustable like v2, v3, or clubsports.

 

I have NM springs on my r57 yet to scrape anything and has the same drop , now if you have a lowered front facia might have to be more careful but 1.2 inch drop is not very aggressive Mine rides better than stock to me and have multiple friends say the same. Not sure if this completely relates to the 3rd Gen but thought I would share anyway

 

Any lower control arms available yet?
