Lowering Spings for F56

Category: Suspension
Price: $150
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): F56
Location (Region): Midwestern
Item Condition: Used

****SOLD**** I have some springs off my F56 JCW Mini These are two different brands due to the fact that the Craven speed Springs will not drop 1.1 inches on a JCW like they do on an S so I purchased some HR springs for the back for the correct drop, but want the Craven Linear springs on the front, so this leaves me with 4 extra springs. The HR will drop 1.1 in front and cravens 1.1 on back on an S. these are both progressive springs. I have both box's so will be shipped in box. PayPal only. Located in Louisville, KY

what am I missing here, not one interested party? Does mismatch make that much of a difference?

I'm interested...

Hey... Based on some research looks likes these will work fine together on my 2014 Cooper S and with a can of primer and spray paint they will match just fine

Did you do the install yourself? They don't seem overly complicated as long as you have the correct tools.

As long as there is no damage, bends or warping, I'll take them off your hands. Been wanting to get mine dropped ever since my first track weekend a few weeks back.

Let me know how you'd like to proceed. Thanks

I did the install on the back's but had someone do the fronts because I have Dynamic Suspension. after watching the mechanic do fronts, not a big deal, but the DRS does require a tool I don't have. That it why I did not change out the fronts this time. The springs are basically the same on front except for color.

the Rear is really easy took about 1/2 hour for rears. Fronts are a little more difficult but, like you said with right tools, not a huge deal. I know one of my friends pulled the fronts out of the car, then took them to a shop to change out springs for very little cost. If I did it again I will do that.

The Cravens do drop correct on the S on the rear.

No damage or warping, cravens have about 1000 miles on them and the H&R have very little mileage as well, and both sets look good. I can send better pictures if you want.

I prefer paypal to protect both of us and I don't really care about the fee so I will eat that, plus if you are in the US I will pay the shipping. Plus I just found out that HR springs are not progressive in the front either, so wanted to make sure I was clear on that. We have a thread going on the Gen3 JCW site here

I will PM you my paypal address and I will get them shipped out. Let me know if you have any issues at all.

Seems to be just the JCWs! The Cooper S should drop as expected. Our shop 2014 for sure does.
