No more teasing: Mach V Technic Springs now shipping.
Bah! I got tired of waiting for stocked-out H&R springs!
So I made my own.
Compared with the afore-mentioned springs, they're a teensy bit higher, and a teensy bit softer. I think they achieve a pretty nice balance of ride vs. the good looks and handling of a lowered car.
"Mach V Technic" is our name for our own products specially made for the Mini. Next up is R56 sway bars, and then other parts, too.
Some shots of the shop car:

On your website you state "Sport suspension shocks recommended"; do you mean the factory sport suspension shocks, or aftermarket? Also, what is the comparison of the ride, handling, and height compared to the stock sport suspension option. Also, how long do you expect to sell them at the sale price?
I would love to get these, but here at school I don't have the tools to do this myself, so buying these plus paying to have them installed will be a pretty penny.

They're a variable-rate design, so there's no single rate I can quote you.

Boy, they look terrific. Not that much higher than the H&R's I have installed. Noticable somewaht in the rear, but not by much. Front looks the same... if not lower, actually. Might just be the angle you're at taking the pic. I'll have to look closer at mine.
Being a softer spring rate... any issues with bottoming up front, more than say a stiffer Eibach or H&R. You get a hair more suspension travel, but with a softer spring, it'll compress easier and faster, correct? Or mabe the progressive wind of the spring stiffens up near the end of the suspension travel to compensate?
Overall, another great product coming from Mach V. Very impressive.

If so, then they'd be perfect for my JCW shocks, as they are stiffer than the sport suspension ones.

No. In fact, with the H&Rs I was having some (slight) tire rubbing in the back on really aggressive cornering. With these I can't seem to get them to rub.
Hey, thanks.
