Suspension Lowering the R56

Lowering the R56
There has been a lot of talk as to not being able to lower the R-56 to an acceptable amount so we had to give it a shot. Here is our new R&D car on the new coil overs and stock 16 inch wheels with the 195 / 55 series tires . At this stage the car drives fine, doesn't rub and can still take a railroad crossing at speed. The interesting part is that we still haven't gone as low as it can. We have a 17 inch wheel set to go on the car with 215/40 series which will have the same overall diameter of the set up on the car now so the look will be the same but the handling should be improved. More to come.

We think we are about a 2 inch drop at this time . We just put the new wheels and 40 series tires on it and in a line of other minis the roof level was the lowest of them all. Pretty damn amazing . That lower plastic section could be removed but we have heard that it helps prevent lift of the front end at high speeds. It looks easy enough to remove and replace for an experiment in any event .
