Hi,
I have a 2013 Mini S with Koni Adjustable shocks and struts. I am looking at H&R lowering springs as the lowering isn’t too severe and the ride is close to original equipment.

Has anyone used this combination?

Thanks

 

I do have a set of H&R street springs and it lowers the car a fair amount, approximately 1.5", ride is much stiffer, great if your going to track or autocross your car. a bit too rough for my liking on the street, mind you the streets in Vancouver suck

 

I have them on my R53 and they're great for lowering the car. The ride is nice. Not too stiff or harsh.

 

I just measured the clearance on my Mini from the lip of the fender to my tires and it appears that I will
have only 1/4 inch clearance if using the H&R springs. This sounds as if it’s too close.
Does anyone have any comments or recommendations?
Thank you

 

They don't ride anything like stock. Much harsher actually as you loose shock travel. A good set of coilovers will actually ride better than any lowering spring.
