Bagged MINI Cooper S
So I was wondering, how much do you think it will cost me to bag this Mini? I heard the rear sway bar makes it complicated, but coils are not for the roads of VA. Thanks in advance!

Make sure you don't let Johnny Law see you riding really low. VA can be a real pain with vehicle heights. Too high = ticket and too low = ticket.

Why so against bagging the Mini? And it'll only be ridiculously low at shows. I'll keep it a normal height on the road for "Johnny Law".

Hahaha 
if it doesn't involve bolt-on lowering springs or 1" drops you'll probably have some trouble finding any valuable responses here 
You start out thinking you'll only put it super low at shows...but you start getting addicted and putting it low at stop lights and down smooth streets, etc.

Good addition
Markety, here's a pic of my current clearance. With the new custom mounts that I'm having machined it should give me another 2 inch drop up front and 3 inch drop in the rear. It should be enough to lay frame......atleast up front as you can see in this pic.
Unfortunately I think the hole locations are slightly different on the R55 top mounts versus the R53 top mounts or else we could have the mounts machined at the same time for a lower cost.
and for fun
