Sport Springs
I like the lowered more aggressive look of the MINI Cabrio. I want to lower my mini with H-Sport Sport Springs or M7 Sport Springs. Can you just lower the vehicle without having to spend another $1000 in additional mods? My car is just a daily driver with maybe 2 or 3 runs a year. I can't see buying a lot of other suspension mods if I don't need them. Let me know what you think.

^ Second that.
You should install one set of two rear lower control arms at the same time that you change your springs, as lowering will cause your rear wheels to develop quite a bit of negative camber. A good set of LCAs should run about $200 new, so you're not going to have to spend an additional $1K in complementary mods. However, if you're not already aware, modding is a slippery slope...

Return of an old thread.
I'm sure lowering a Cabrio depends on personal preferences and how harsh of a ride you can tolerate. I wouldn't recommend the H-Sports (or the H&R) and never tried the M7 springs. I may have missed posts about using the TSW spings on the Cabrio. After some experience, I think coilovers are probably the way to go but only if they have been tested with the Cabrio.
I am quite pleased with my stock springs and Koni FSD's, thank you. Although I am riding higher, I'm riding iin comfort.

I lowered my cabrio with the Eibach Pro Kit. I needed the rear lower control arms, bought those from Eibach as well.
1" drop in front and 1.2" in the rear. I love the way it looks and handles
Im running 215/35/18 Toyo Proxes4 tires so it rides pretty hard but I love it!
Whole thing installed was around $1,000

I don't remember the numbers but it was out pretty bad. ( might have the sheet in my car, I'll look when I get a chance) My passenger rear wheel was out more than the drivers side and it was really noticable. In fact, the car looked like it was sitting 2 inches lower in the rear due to the camber being so outa whack. The control arms were $250.00 for both of them and I would highly suggest getting them if you go ahead with the drop.
Some people have said that with the H&R springs they didn't need control arms..... I really question that
