H&R Sport Coilovers

Pictures of lowered Mini's with H&R Sport Coilovers - if anyone has them all the way down that would be helpful. I have them on my car but they are not all the way down and i am hoping to see the clearance. Thanks guys and girls!

Mind you that car is turning hard to the right, so what you see for clearance there reflects about 2 degrees of body roll. That's about 1 g, which is well short of sliding but compresses the springs a fair bit.

Here's last year (same coil-overs, but the previous set) with essentially the same ride height. Note also that I run 15" rims.

Cheers,

Charlie
