Lotsa horses in that stable! Nice collection!

 

ok so now i can show mine off a little too just lowered on M7 coilovers.

 

Just went from Mach V Springs to H&R coilovers.

Before:


After:





Fronts spun all the way down, ten threads left in the rear.

 

 

A few shots of Peter's R-56 on 215/ 40 / 17 's and M7 coilovers of course This is its everyday running height with no rubbing issues .

This is one of our customer's cars also on 215/40/17's and our coilovers. This is a daily driver and at its normal heigth as well.

I've always liked the M7 mini

Question though - "Powered by Cosworth"? Is that referring to pistons?

 

General feeling:

A Mini lowered on H&R 35mm springs with Aero Kit running 18 inch R105 wheels, would these tyres rub:

225/40/18

?

And, would fitting wheel spacers make things worse?

 

They will rub just a tad on the inside at full lock. Some 5-10mm spacers should cure that but you might want to max out your stock - camber by loosening those strut bolts and pushing inward. The rears should be fine w/or without spacers.

Wow, after looking at ya'lls lowered mini's, my mini using JCW springs looks like a 4WD.

that yellow m7 mini makes me want to trade up to an r56, it is perfectly executed. i would do it in white with some gold vs-xx wheels!!! that would look amazinngggg

 

How do you mean mate?
Im not very well up on camber and the like so what you just said above I am really interested in doing as i have read that the R56's handling can be greatly improved by altering its camber - its just that I never knew what you had to do to change the camber setting?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

 

Buy new rear lower control arms and front camber plates. Unfortunately, it's kinda pricy to do, but if you want better handling, I'd do it.

Dude.. what have you done?!

It was the BEST LOOKING DS I have ever seen.. but you have changed some things the last weeks... (wheels and what else? )

I think it is a shame..

Still good looking tho.. but it was better looking before IMHO

 

Missed this when you posted - it's approx 1 3/4 drop. No camber plates - Alta rear control arms. But I AM using the camber slots in the strut towers. I just popped the plastic retaining piece out when I installed the KW's.

The links all broke when I rearanged my photos, so here are some new ones...

 

Incredibly hot R56 right there....

However, that front chin spoiler is just BEGGING to be ripped off on LA roads/freeways lol. Guess you don't need to worry about that in FL though!

 

lovley lowered mini's everyone!!

 

KW 1s 17" OEM R99 wheels

 

next week new wheels.. en maybe a little lower... :D

 

Rally, your car is amazing!!!!

 

Yes it is...... LOW RIDER!!

 

Thanks man

Soon to be much lower Hoping to get the front down another 1-2 inches with some custom mounts and the rear 2-3 inches with some much shorter struts

I'm glad you've still got the R56 with the jcw kit. It looks amazing. I look forward to seeing what you have in store with the new wheels

 

even lower!! I wish I could go that low!! damnz!!

I have dicided to keep the R56 and do some stuff with it.. :D Had the interior done en sprayed some things.. I also have some other goodies on their way..

keep you posted!

Dont know what was the last picture you seen..but the items that I changed....I painted the wheels (red Strip coming off) added the CF Splitter and some CF parts and did the joey mod. The only thing I am not happy with is the red strip...other than that it is exactly where I want it....
