H&R Springs

What is the ride comfort like of the H&R springs? Not coilovers, just the lowering springs.

If you remember to cut your bumpstops it's a little stiffer than the factory ride. Handles great, I'm happy with mine.

I have them and they are not bad at all. A little softer than what I wanted but they are a good compromise for most situations.

Is it as stiff as eibach?
So if you had to reconsider between koni, eibach, h-sports springs ... would you still stick with h&r?

CRoth your MINI looks stunning, I just had a look at your gallery. From what I've seen, H&R Springs only lowers the ride height the lowest from other brands?

R53Warrior - would you mind posting pictures of your mcs? would like to see you h&r drop too.

Here a pic. Keep in mind the falkens Im running RT-615 215/45/17 take up a little more room. The rear is essentially even with the fender flare and the front has slightly more gap. Ill try to get a better one today

Thanks for the compliment Driv3r. I'm pretty happy with my decision to go with the H&R's. I'd like it a tad lower but I'm happy for now.
