I would say he is running very little camber. Most likely just OEM camber and lowered on coils. This tends to create a lot of rear camber. I want to say mine is like -4/-5 in the rear and just -1.5 in the front.

 

Boosted is on the money with 1.5 in the front. Did rear alignment at 2.2 degrees. Didn't mess with my arches at all. I rub on big bumps but not enough to take off any paint or plastic on my arches, they still look perfect.

Thanks for the kind words. I was never into blacking out the chrome like most are and that helps everything flow well with the polished lips I think. To each his own!

 

Crappy phone picture but I just put on some Megan Racing Coilovers

 

+1

 

Low Problems:

 

Fail

 

Luckily it just knocked the drain plug loose and didnt crack the pan again. Hit a giant dip in the road, my friend behind said i threw sparks every where. haha.

 

Lol "AGAIN" hahahahah, my buddy rips his vw pan 24/7. You guys are crazzzzzy. Does look good to be that low though.

 

Might be time to think about a custom skid-plate

 

[QUOTE=RedAndBlackMiniS;3479462]Finally pulled the trigger.. and lowered the car almost 2" more. Now it's about 5" lower than stock.

what brand of spacers did you use? and with extended lugs?

 

 

Well put together!! What are the suspension and wheel specs?

 

Very nice. What Spacers are you running?

 

beautiful thing about having the straight cooper, is you dont really need to think too hard about performance mods. i dont know if youre into it, but if i was you id focus on making the stance as cool looking as possible. coilovers, spacers, etc. could be fun

 

Then you get vibrations like I do! :( I want to make it stock again!

 

I'm worried about getting vibrations once I slam the front. Normally those are due to drive axel issues. Hopefully I can accomplish zero wheel gap at the least without any vibrations. I'd love to have all 4 corners tucked. Unfortunately I had to raise the rear today because my tires were rubbing :(

 

That's how I've looked at it for the most part. Of course my wallet wouldn't stand much of a chance if I had a turbo. What some of you guys have done is awesomely expensive.

Yeah - definitely would be fun. Every time I look at brandon's Cooper or Rally's Clubbie, I think it would be nice. But as a daily driver I can think of half a dozen places along my 30 mile commute that would be a problem.

 

As for the rears rubbing, just remove the plastic arches and hammer out the rear fenders. Mine are pulled and rolled. As my rear fender practically sits on my tire.

Some recent pics of the mini in action:

 

No spacers, BBS RC323s 17x7.5 ET35 with Federal 595 RS-Rs in 215/45/17

Rear camber is -1.5 and front is stock, I will be getting some front top mounts to set up some front camber.

 

Don't you get vibrations? I am puzzled. I had to lift mine. It's now a finger gap and I am all the way up on my H&R coils.

 

dropped with ST's

 

Id rather not do hammering on my car just to get another 1/2" drop with my luck I would end up doing more harm than good.

 

Its okay my lowered fender in the rear under my plastic wheel arch is black from rubbing it got so hot it burned it ha. oh well plastic covers it.

 

I get my Megan Coilovers today, I will post pics of my ride when I get them installed.

 

I will be having KW V3's installed soon. Will post some pics when they are installed
