NM Eng. RS Alpha Spring Kit

Hello everyone!

I'm looking to lower my MCS and was wondering if anyone installed these springs and what they think of them.

Do you have a lot of negative camber after installation?
Did you install a camber kit?
Did you keep your stock shocks?

Thanks for your time, I appreciate it!

David

Yes I have them on my car. I am actually installing coils on my car and these will be off and for sale for cheap within the next week or two. They lowered about an inch in the back and 3/4 inch in the front. My alignment was pretty close to being in spec. Added a little bit of camber to the rear but almost none up front. For what they are they're not bad, just not low enough for my taste. Road surprisingly well even with stock dampers

So, they actually lowered your mini more in the back?

The NM site says the opposite...
B46/48 (2.0T)
Front: 33mm (1.30")
Rear: 31mm (1.22")

Just curious because I really want the front to be lower than the back.
Thanks again for the info!

David
