H&R Convertible Springs on Hatch

I just went onto H&R's website and discovered that the Convertible springs are much lower than the Cooper S Hatch. Obviously this is because of the fact of the convertibile being more heavier than the Hatch, it would need more to bring it down. Has anyone put the convertible springs of H&R on the hatch? will it sit lower than those with the Hatch H&R springs on the hatch? wonder what the ride is like too.

Check that out! Has the same code as the convertible listed on H&R's website but that site states its for the hatch and it lowers 35 mm

I think this worth exploring for sure. If you end up going with these springs, post up a pic or two! I would love to be a bit lower...

H&R springs are actually quite comfortable in the cars I have ridden in with them. I like the feel on the street and I think they would add a bit of sprotiness to the Mini, especially with that lower ride height.
