Amazing stance! Are you running spacers?

 

h&r rss dropped all the way down

 

^^^FronJoni^^^ Looking good! If I didn't ask before, what wing is that? Can you PM me the details?

Thanks again for putting up the photos!

 

^^that is lookin very good....how's it ride

i see you've got mach v springs...thats what im coming from...
it rides beautifully, ive got them all the way down on 18x8 no spacers, and the only thing rubbing is the plastic fender thing which for me isnt a big deal....
danny/minicorsa set it up for me with a 19 in the back and it rides f'n incredible dude.
no bottoming out on the freeway, no unpredictable bouncing over the streets, no hop when you turn....its awesome.

 

Mach V's...I plan on getting a set of white 18's shortly when I'm due for tires...(exel tz-10's)..should look real real good




It's just amazing how much better R56's look once you lower them

 

Just installed Mach V springs today along with Team Dynamics Pro 1.2 wheels in 17's. The ride is actually better than stock and it looks great!! Once it settles, I think it will look even better. I will take some better pics tomorrow.

 

Just you wait....

 

I dunno man... mine are still good-- definitely stiffer than stock, but still.. and i live in boston, where roads are terrible, those from new england would have an idea--

everyone has their tolerances i guess..

maybe you have a bad set?

 

agreed
im coming off these spring, and let me tell u, the ride is not better than stock, once these springs settle, your gonna be bouncing all over the place, hopping at every turn...get some fixed camber plates and a rear sway, 19mm is good...that will improve these springs tremendously

 

I also agree too LOL! Your handling will be better but it sure is a bit more rickety than the stock springs!

 

 

Vic- That looks beautiful...borderline SICK!!!

Fronjoni- Thanks for the advice. I already have the sways ordered!!

 

np
sways?
i hope you didnt get a front sway bar too...if you did, return it...cancel it...you do not need it on these cars

 

Fronjoni nice looking drop don't know if I like the tuck though. Also what type of baterang is that on the back of your car man that thing looks awesomely ridiculous.

 

ya front tuck is definitely not something everyone appeals to...its good for now, ill probably come up a tad though...ridiculous good? or ridiculous bad lol...
its an apr wing...no ones ever called it a batarang before tho hahaha...

 

Its so over the top on a MINI that it looks awesome. And I was trying to furthur the ridiculousness of it. I like it cause it looks like a track car

 

That's HOT! You're making me regret not getting red a little bit...

 

Couple pics of mine...This was the day I dropped her, it has settled a little since the drop (about 3 wks)

Pardon the subpar image quality, that's as good as I'm going to get out of my Blackberry 2.0 mp camera...

 

only one pic as of now but i'll have more in a little bit... lowered on custom Koni coilovers and Springs, about an inch and a half drop from stock with Team Dynamics wheels

 

What offset are those wheels?

 

what are the spring rates on the Konis?

The drop is perfect, are they 16" rims or 17" ?

 

just wanted to update... added wheels now to the car.. not so stock and plain looking...

Steering and comfort are also vastly improved

apologies for the cellphone camera

 

that's flat out at 4k in second, headed for the finish -- therefore the nose is pitched up just slightly

 

Sigh I need to buy a set of coilovers.
