SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs.
Thanks for the compliments. I managed to get the front a little lower, but I haven't managed to find a source for balljoint extenders. My subframe is 1-2mm off the ground. The balljoint extenders should be just enough to get the car on the ground. I just hope I can find a company that will offer the right parts.
Sooooo you planning on updating your build up thread? lol. I really want to see how those strut mounts look like installed.

Better asked in his build thread and not cluttering up this Gallery thread. He keeps that thread pretty well updated anyway. If you are not seeing it, it's likely because he's not interested in sharing all of his hard earned secrets about the air ride suspension.
Yah, my M|U thread has every picture I've ever taken in regards to this car posted in there. It's worth checking out I've got pics of the custom plates installed on the bags in there, but not installed in the car. You can't really see them when installed in the car. Just the tops which look pretty much stock.
thanks! idon't recall the color code at the moment but the name is actually olive green. kinda generic, right? but it turned out pretty much exactly how i hoped.
Group i have a question
I have a 2009 JCW and wondering with coil overs, can the front camber be adjusted, or not. a friend has a used HR coilvers, but i don't see any camber adjustment. Are there other coil overs that does this or the 09 JCW can not be adjsted?
The only thing that can be adjusted on the front is basically toe in/out. However, what I did with my MINI and my H&R coils is there is a plastic clip that goes in to keep the stock alignment area when you bolt the coils on...I removed that little plastic clip (more like it broke off anyways), and allowed me to get a little bit more camber in the fronts.
Short of camber plates, I believe thats all you can do for the front
empire0007 - it seems like some coilovers allow for camber adjustment (comes with adjustable camber plates) and some don't. I haven't done too much research since coilovers are out of my price range.
I just ordered H&R springs and adjustable camber plates. Then comes the 22mm rear sway bar. That should hold me over until I save up for coilovers.
WOW!!! That looks soooooo good. What suspension do you have? Mine is bone stock, and I need something soon.
Thanks for the compliments. I have KW V1 coilovers. We also have an 09 MCS that we just put NM springs on and the drop is identical to my JCW stance in the pics above.
Must say the NM springs actually improved not only the looks but the ride quality as well. Good luck with your springs!
I gotta get those rims cleaned up a little bit
The car sits on two wheels going up a ramp, sorta seesaws back and forth when I go to shopping centers. Fun stuff
