Eibach springs on mine. They came with the car. Frankly, although it looks good, I get tired of scraping every time I go over a speed hump or into a driveway.

You should check with Rally@StanceDesign.He can give you some good advice. His clubby is one of the lowest I have seen.

Eibach's on my Clubby. I wish it was a bit less of a drop on the rear, but still pretty happy with the stance overall.

Size:  131.8 KBI put some of the M7 sport springs on my wifes 10 clubman S when it had about 300 miles on it. We couldn't be happier. No problems on the install and the alignment got back into spec's easily. We ordered it with the sport suspension and really haven't noticed any ride quality changes in daily driving. I've posted some pictures next to an identical one at the dealer my wife works for.
