Gawd, that's frickin' awesome.

So, I'm assuming your subframe is lower than Chris now.

I swear. I never thought you'd convert me. I'm a "ricer".

This was an issue on the earliest versions, as I understand it, the later ones have been revised to prevent that noise.

Thanks folks!

^^ Looks nice and helps illustrate how just a set of springs can transform your MINI!

These are the not best pics of our Clubman with NM springs but at least they give an idea. Have been very happy with the NM springs. More even drop on our Clubman then the R56 TSW springs.

For real? I'm looking for a more comfortable ride in mine. Do you have stock shocks with those H&R? Would Koni or Bilstein make it even more comfortable with H&R? I don't care about lowered looks.
