can i see some pics of r53 Mini's slammed on 18s (215/35/18 tires since thats what im running)

i want to lower mine as much as possible on my 18s, i believe they're a 45mm offset.

any trimming needed? i really dont want any negative rear camber at all either. i hate that look and dont want to ruin my tires faster.

keep in mind, when i add my subs, amps, and batteries, the rear should drop an inch or two. i plan on running coilovers so i can adjust the front to match the rear with all the added weight.

also, say my system lowered my Mini in the back to the perfect stance im going for. would i need coilovers in the back? could i just get them up front (or even springs for the front) just to lower it to match the back?

what could i do for the back to help with the weight?

keep in mind, im not going to spend 2k or anything on suspension. when you guys reccommend components to me, keep in mind i wont be on the track or anything like most of you guys are, so i dont need to choose springs or coilovers for track reasons. just for looks. i was leaning at going with the Megan's becuase ive read they are a pretty good budget set of coilovers.

lets see what my options are here.

discuss.

Rebel 10100101010100101010, stay out please.

 

what coilovers are you gonna run? without playing with camber its gonna be tough

dont know. if i do coilovers, im thinking Megan's since they're on the cheaper side, yet ive read they're still a decent product.

 

Here ya go.....18's with H&R coilovers. No rubbing issues.

 

Nice Blackx5. Do you mind me asking. What rims are those? Looks great.

 

that pic isnt showing for some reason.

 

wheels = Tenzos. (a little bit on the heavy side.)

Tenzo, which version? LOOKS AMAZING

 

Tenzo Type M. A little heavy but reasonably priced ($240ish). Nice looking that's for sure. The Tenzo Mach-10 is a good looking rim too.

 

I agree Dr.Phil! The all black Tenzo wheel is also awesome looking.
on another note....the perfect tire (imo) ...but a lil pricey.

 

 

Is that low enough for you?

 

UKSUV - thats awesome man. I had mine much lower...but had it jacked up cause of horrid LA roads.

on the CF hood! VIS?

 

Enkei J10's. 18x7.5,42mm off set, 215/35/18's. Sitting on Cross coilovers.

 

man those are insane!!!!!!!!! Thats Slammed, how they ride? nice R53s

 

heres another one....

 

Yea ViS.....how much lower cause Im dumped on rim....

 

blackx5, and UKSUV, i love both of those MINI's.

 

If you dont want to much rear camber then you are going to want lower rear control arms. Coilovers are generally sold in sets of four, megans are cheap enough that it is worth getting them all the way around.

I wont talk about spring rates because I am not all that knowledgeable when it come to that.

 

if i do lower control arms, i still need coilovers?

i dont know anything about suspension really as far as what parts i need.

i dont mind trimming the inner wheel wells btw.

any pics of trimmed wheel wells?

 

Too Bad this car is busy rusting and broken down in the front of my house...freebie if you pick it up promptly...no tranny and balding tires...
Oh and them 10's but he keeps 'em CLLLLEAN

 

Rusting??? Wtf are you serious? Pics of said rust :-)

 

18" GFO w/ ksport coilovers
