Post pictures of your MINI with lowering springs, would be nice to get this thread going as it will help guys like me decide on which springs to go for who's purely looking for a good drop

 

APEX (30 mm drop- http://www.apexsuspension.com/gb/ ), Konig Feather 17" Wheels, Hankook V12 215/45/17 Tires:

 

Wheel and tire size would be good to know too as it affects the look of the drop.

 

Kids car has H&R springs with General Exclaim UHP 205-45-17



My Clubman has Eibach springs and it's running Continental Extreme Contact DW(not the S) in a 215-45-17

 

wrh3 how is the ride on your apex springs? I have a set and have been meaning to install them soon. they look good.

 

The spring rate is just a little firmer than OE but I think the ride is a little better, the reason I like them is that they are linear like the OE springs and not progressive like others out there. With the slightly larger tires I have a bit of rubbing in the back but nothing big. I have put about 15k highway miles on them and been on a few mountain drives with them, no complaints and I think they are a great value. I am kind of surprised you don't hear these mentioned more often on the forums as a viable option.
