My turn Lowering my ALL4
Used NM Springs to lower 1.5 in.
Not as soft, a little harder to go over speed bumps fast.

Give it a few more miles; I've had mine for a little while now and the ride is much better. Jarring at the beginning, but now that the springs are broken in things feel much better.

It's on my drawing board as the next MINI I do. The rear spoiler is an expensive beast from ProDrive

Springs bc coilovers are a waste, it's not a track car. Some springs have bad rebound but some dont. As a DD, springs will give you the look...

Good to know. I was looking at the coil overs because I've heard they give you a better ride. But if springs need to break in. I'll save some cash and go with them. Thanks again
