does anybody know how much difference you can get out of new springs?

 

You might want to be a bit more specific.


Difference in:
ride height?
spring rate?
harshness?
wallet thickness?
We're good, but we can't read minds.

 

Englander,

Aloha and welcome to NAM.
Do you want me to move this tread to Performance:suspension forum since you are asking about lowering springs?

Difference in ride height will vary from one spring maker to the next but the average range for MC and MCS is roughly a half inch to about 1.5 inches with an inch being a common drop.

Difference in ride performance is dramatic- lowered center of gravity, stiff spring ratings and less body roll allow for faster cornering speeds with confidence.

Difference in ride harshness varies from spring to spring, mostly moderately harsh compared to stock and quite rough on bumpy roads.

Go for a ride in a MINI with lowering springs installed and judge for yourself.

 

well im not really looking to go to harsh but i do want to get some better handling without spending to much, any recomendations?
