Me and my friends did it thursday night it was a learning experience we love that kind of stuff... Let me know what you think or have any suggestions of future mods 03 MC

 

How much did you lower it ?

By the way, I'd like to see a shot of your grill. Got a pic of that ?

 

Looks great lowered!

Paint the trim or black out the chrome!

I dropped mine about 1.2 inches.

 

here's mine I know I need rims but I've only had it a few weeks

 

I've been debating this on my 06, I have a horrific driveway so I am not sure I want to commit and end up scratching my aero lip all to pieces. I was almost wondering is spacers could give me a better look but not sacrifice my height. Decisions decisions. Your Mini looks great!

 

could always try the spacers and see.

off topic are you a member of cincy mini's?

 

Are most of these posts coming from Cincy? Because I'm a Cincinnati Mini owner.

 

I'm Greenville Ohio (north of Dayton)
thinking of joining the cincy mini club.

 

No I am not but I was approached by one of the senior members last year sometime at the Clubman reveal. I did try to get on the site and register but could not figure it out?

 

The site does seem act up alot of the time

 

HOW do you lower a MINI?

I'm from Cincy . . . miss the hills

 

Several different ways. The cheapest way (and how I did it) was with lowering springs. I bought Alta's lowering springs that drop the car about 1 -1.2 inches.

If you are really into performance and tracking the car this is NOT the way to go. You would probably want to get all new coil overs.

But I just wanted it for the look, without changing the ride too much.

 

I lowered mine last night... hour and a half i don't have pic yet it was dark when i finally got home

 

SEXYYYYYYYYYY i want to lower mine : )

 

This thread has several pics of users' lowered minis...

I just bought a set of coilovers...I like the fact that I can adjust my ride height to suit what I want. and considering you get springs and struts in a coilover setup...the $550 price wasnt bad at all.

Oh, and I am not from Cincy, but that is where my dealer is...I am bout 3 hours away.

 

Love the car MUShadd. Sometimes I wish I had a black MCS. I would drop it and black it out like yours. But then I would have to get rid of the EB. Whats your tint? I think I might put a 35% on mine.
