NOT coilovers.. With the nearly infinite adjustability they don't help me...

I'm looking for pictures of lowered MINi's that are on springs and not adjustable.

I had H-sports on my old MINI and LOVED them. Looking for something similar.

Yes, I searched. LAst thread was from 05' and was pretty full of dead pics. Please, show me what you got, and list models if possible.

 

Here's my 2011 Chili Red MCS



And..

Here's my wife's Midnight Black 2012 JCW Coupe



Both have Mach V Technics lowering springs. Drop is about 1.25 in both front and rear.

 

both look great, but am really hoping to see some R50/53s in here..

 

Looks awesome! Are they both on stock 17" rims?

 

Thanks for the compliments. My wife's coupe is running stock challenge wheels. For my MCS, I'm running Breyton GTS-R wheels. Both MINIs are running 17" wheels.

 

This is a great thread. I was thinking of doing NM springs with my 17" web spokes. I think the drop is similar at 1.2"

 

Bump. I want to see a few pics as well.

 

Here is my car, 17x7 +38 215/45/17 tires.

TSW V2 springs on Koni FSD's?

 

Yes, I had bought the V2's used. I know, Koni says no lowering springs on FSD's, but there are multiple people including locals that ran FSD's and TSW's for a long time. On top of that, it's conflicting stories, I personally called Gordon at Koni tech support after I got my FSD's and said I was going to be running JCW red springs that lower about 1/2" and he said I should have no problem, but he does not advise anything near an inch.

Again it's all preference, to me, that combo was the most comfortable lowered combo I ran. I was waiting for TSW V4's to come out and would have ran them on the FSD's as well, or the Tein H Techs if I could have gotten a group buy together. I only ran the combo for a couple days and then went back to stock. Car is traded in now, but if I get back into another cooper, I'm doing FSD's and TSW's on the next one.

 

Here is mine on NM springs lowered 1.2"

Has anyone road TEIN S springs yet on a Cooper??? Very curious to see!
