This is my 2nd Cooper S. I bought one new in 2005 and have owned a few sport cars since then and nothing compared to the mini so I got another one.

Love the rims on your car.
Also, what lowering springs do you have on your car? It looks very nice sitting that low! I'm very jealous.

Thank you! I think the wheels are love it or hate it. The car is sitting on Megan coilovers. The coilovers are very stiff, even at the softest setting.

Its not as low as it looks

I would recommend Megan coilovers. I think they're the best bang for the buck. I've gotten a lot of flack from people about the coilovers though, so be ready to defend your decision.

Thank you for the compliments I'm honored!
