Coen ur cooper looks nice and looooowwwww i really like it. U say that u went for the V1 coilovers. I a few questions tho.

Please can you tell me which way you wined the adjustable part of the coil overs to make the car lower (up or down)? Also please can you tell me, i like how low you have set ur car up but please can u tell me how much u lower it on the coilovers? Also how much more tread you have left to lower it by??

Thanks bud.

Dajijilo- do you have your bc rear coilovers set as high as possible- with the threaded shock body threaded into the bottom about 25mm- just showing through the slots? Thanks Don

I also equipped my new R56 with KW V1's. I took a less aggressive approach and set them up to have about the same compression travel as stock. I set the suspension ride height [axle to bottom side of wheel arch apex] at 12.5" front and 12.6" rear. [compared to 14.2" front and rear]

Cheers,

Ryan,
Looks great! Can you still go a little lower and still maintain most of OEM components (e.g., control arms) and not have any other issues (like rubbing). I like the fact that you have the same suspension travel as stock but with a lower stance

. The H&R springs are nice, but are a bit bumpy on the larger bumps

(as you have stated in a previous post), so going with your set-up would be optimal. Would any installer know how to set-up the coilovers like yours, or do you need to take it to some one who specializes in coilovers? Can anyone recommend a place in southern CA (LA or OC)? What does it typically cost to install? Thanks.

How many MINI's does this one make for you now Coen? I count 4 but I may be off.

As usual though I'm impressed with the look.
