Yes, the ride height is adjustable. I have no idea how they compare to the stock suspension.....I had them installed at the dealer before I took delivery. They are set to the lowest position in the rear and the front has been lowered to match the factory stance.

Car looks gorgeous. I'm having a hard time understanding the Pro Splitters front and rear. What are they exactly?
And why did you install spacers? I'm seeing a lot of people do this.

I only went with the front splitters. If you look at the front of the car on either side on the lower grill opening, they are the black plastic trim pieces that replace the smooth factory pieces. They are more contoured and protrude out more.

Wheels spacers move the wheels outward toward the fenders more, eliminating the "tucked in" look the stock stance has. It's a lot more noticeable once the car is lowered, if your don't have spacers.

Awesome transformation!

I'm tempted to do something similar! My little guy is like yours....all black with 18" cup spokes.

I agree with the front splitters....not a fan of the rear diffuser & those little useless strips on the rear spoiler! Have you seen the rear splitters similar to the front?

Not sure about the wheel spacers though....I like the razor thin clearance between the Brembos & the wheel spokes....wider stance looks great though....what thickness spacer did you use front & rear?

Nicely done!

John

I have not seen the rear diffusers similar to the front. Is there a link to them somewhere?

My spacers are 12mm front and rear. I probably could have gone 15mm in the rear without rubbing, but I wanted to play it safe. The factory stance IMO is like looking at dudes that skip leg day at the gym.....frail! lol

Thanks for the props.....appreciate it.

Thanks for the spacer info! I don't have a link for the rear splitters, but I have noticed them in some pics.....if I come across them I'll try to remember to post up. I know they're out there because I was really surprised to see them....similar to the fronts only less "lip". Maybe they come with the rear diffuser?...don't know.

All pro parts here, talking about the rear diffuser or the little strips on the rear spolier ?

Yeah.....neither the rear diffuser nor the rear spoiler accents do anything for me. I'll stick to just the front splitters.

I agree with you on this! The front splitters look like they belong there....nothing else excites me! I quite like the stock rear bumper cover....it just looks "right" imo! If it ain't broke don't try & fix it! LOL!

I did email my MINI parts guy this morning anyway to get prices on everything....I know it'll be excessive, but figured I'd find out anyway.

We have them all listed above 02fanatic, Agree the front Pro JCW spoiler flares are the biggest improvement on the front end. Slight detail , big change in looks, should have been stock.
