Photos & Info on Your Lowered R55 Clubman

There are a lot of photos, and information about lowering the R56, R57, R58, and R59, but photos of lowered R55s seem to be scattered all over the place. I figured we could try to pool some photos and Clubman specific information on lowering here, in one place.

So...those of you who have lowered your Clubman, show us some photos! And if you would be so kind, please include your suspension setup, eg. what springs, struts, coilovers, sway bars, etc. you have installed.

This would no doubt be a huge help to those of us who would like to lower our Clubman...even if we don't even have it in our possession yet.

Ok for the first reply, a "light" lowering... Bilstein B12 ProKit



Not too low and it's perfect because this car is my daily (125 US miles per day)

I like that drop BlackCat, just enough to look good and still work as a daily driver. It looks like you dialed out the reverse-rake on the Clubman, which is exactly what I want to do...I cannot stand how the front suspension is noticeably higher than the rear.
