Do NOT get BC Ultra-Low if you are trying to get really low. I made the mistake and hope this helps others not make the same one.
I thought it was well known at this point that if you want to absolutely slam your mini that BCs aren't the way to go.

IMO going any lower then full drop on BCs on NYC streets is asking for trouble. You could do it, but you would really have to baby it and avoid some areas all together.
How do the ST coils handle? In the market for some new lower coils. Torn between getting the cheaper STs or taking the leap to KW V1 which are the higher end versions of the STs.

This is a combination of not checking the forums often and the company telling me about their 'Ultra-Lows' (which is what I ordered) and how "they've never had a single person say they didn't go low enough/it will go so low you won't be able to drive the car/they will go as low as you want and then some more", so I purchased them.
Whatever, live and learn. I am selling those and have purchased JIC-Cross coilovers.

Good move with the JICs. You buy them new or used. Seen some crazy awesome deals on used ones that. Just needed to be rethreaded.
Here is my JCW R58 on Fortune Auto Series 500 Coilovers. Finally got around to taking some photos during AMVIV.
ZCAST - What dealer did you purchase the FA Series 500 coils from, or did you buy them directly from FA?
I'm curious to know why the R53 get 6k spring rates on all corners and the R56 gets 6k front and 4k rear. Weight maybe?
I can't believe these come with 4k spring rates, that is so soft!

Nice! What coils are you running now? Looks great as is
I actually did buy them from Jaremy!
I have BC Racing "Ultra-Low" with 10/8k springs. And thank you, I really don't want to go much lower, I just hate the feeling of being maxed out and wanting to go a bit lower!
