I know you track that car Sacred. Is it also your daily driver? If so how badly do those wheels rub? Are those 18's?

Thanks! I de-stickered the side windows - was gettin' a little busy.

To be sure the bug has hit me pretty hard. No doubt if $$$ weren't an issue, I would like to be lower in the front. But adjustable coilovers will have to wait for my next MINI. I have to use reason, man!

With 65K on the originals I think Koni Sports are coming soon. I really haven't felt any issues yet, but it can't be long, right?

Get some H&R Street Performance Coilovers. They are well priced and will ive you that exact height that you want. plus the ride is 3x more comfortable than stock in my opinion. i have them on my clubby. what size wheels and tires are those? im thinking i wanna go with your tire setup.

Copy the full image, then paste in the post box. At least that's how I do it.

Also, liking the upright bike rack. I've got one on my R53.

Brakes are fine as long as its fixed...

I just didn't see brakes in the picture so I got excited. Also, I'm not a hipster, but I love riding fixed...right now I'm being stupid as hell and running a 52t chainring with a 16t cog and brakeless...

Thanks! And thanks as well to LiLaSiiaN8! I'm a photographer so it's a bit sacrilegious to allow cellphone photography, but it's so much easier than carrying around a Canon 5D Mark ii. And I can still post-process as I normally would .

Stretch, how much camber are you running on your suspension set-up, and did you have to modify any of your wheel wells? I like the chrome too. Nice ride.
