Hi guys!!

I want to lower my Cooper S, using just some lowering springs...

I'm in germany, so I can't use H-Sports or M7 springs!!

The ones I was looking for were:

Eibach (30mm)
H&R "red" (35mm)
H&R "green" (30mm)
KW (35mm)

I want it to be as low as possible, especially in the front!! (I don't want the rear to look lower than the front!!!)

So, which of these would you prefer??
I'm using the 17inch S-spoke wheels with 205/45R17 tyres, if anyone got some pictures for me, that would be nice!!

Thanks in advance!!

 

If you want a low ride, you might want to consider Ultrik Springs from MiniMania.com, if they offer over-sea shipping.

A couple years back, there was a thread on here that discussed all the different aftermarket springs and I believe it was concluded that the Ultrik's have the most drop w/o going to coilovers.

I used to run the Alta performance springs, then switched to the Ultrik springs because they are a progressive rate and they did lower the car significantly more.

Thanks for your quick help!! The problem will be, that the german TÜV won't let me use those springs legally...because they're not tested by the german TÜV...

I think I'll to check for those "good" german brands, KW, H&R, Eibach etc...

Anyone knows if there are aftermarket camper plates for lowering the car a tad more in the front?? I know a friend bought some for his BMW, it lowered the car in the front like 10mm more!! That would be very nice, because I saw a lot of cars with just some springs installed (H&R/Eibach/KW), which were a lot lower in the back than in the front...

 

I searched on some german pages, and I found this:

They BUILT springs for what ever lowering you want!! Maybe I will get some springs there, so I can be sure it's not that bad looking with the rear beeing damn low, and the front "high"...

And I found out that "Bonrath" makes some camber plates which lowers the car 10mm more in the front!! This could be useful for the people who allready have some springs and want the car to be lower on the front...

 

Here is my '03 with H&R greens and stock shocks with 18's. No rubbing.

 

Ultriks..
How much do they drop?

still debating coil vs strust + springs..
I want equal drop front and back and i want em Low

 

the m7 springs drop it low... look @ john monks beast as a ref. I'm on hsports and have a 1.5-2 finger front wheel gap and 1 finger rear. From the side on the gaps look same.
