H&R cup kit with 28mm front and 24mm rear sway bars from H&R. The drop is around 2", i will send you pics when installation finished. Wheels and tires are waiting for now, kinda like what i have and APR chip+ turboback is more important at this point (close to 300hp) .

don't you want a thicker rear sway to reduce understeer

correct, i will have the rear at the stiffest and the front softest setting, a little understeer is fine.

i'm not gonna lie...these forums are pretty damn boring. the mk5 gti is only a couple MONTHS old and they are beginning to catch on and explore new territory w.r.t. modding. i would like to see some of you guys pushing the envelope.

thanks rally. i know some people will know what i'm getting at. from what i gather, most people on here will like this particular style of mini (the style of which i don't think a mini should be modded).

yeah, i got confused with MSFIT and MSFITOY. haha sorry MSFIT, i was referring to MSFITOY's mini, although I do like yours as well.
i would like to see some more creativity and thinking outside the box in the mini world. it's like the vw mk5 golf/jetta forum..."the land of no imagination"

hahah oh snap! Some MINI's definitely need to "unpimp ze auto"

Yo...me and a fellow mini'r are going to waterfest this year to meet with my sponsor who has a booth this year (eastern euro tuning)....if you are in that part of NJ let me know and we could meet up. I live on LBI all summer, so let me know.

MSFIT...you pic whor3, this is a EURO thread hehe not a tuner/race thread . But your car is definitely a beautiful one...especially in those pics.
