Who has lowered his MCS can here post pictures and tell us what kind of springs or shoks he bought.

I hope that this thread can help a lot of people!!



Lowered on Bilstein B12 kit Eibach only thing I'm using prokit springs for r55 Clubman which lowers my rear .08 instead of 1.2 all around.

This thread should be active...

"Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) suspension kits include a complete set of Bilstein Performance dampers paired with Eibach (Pro-Kit) springs that provide moderate lowering between 24-40mm (depending on application). These kits offer dampers and springs that are tuned for each specific application to provide the best fixed height lowering solution. Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) suspension kits provide the perfect combination of suspension dynamics, quality and aesthetics."

I lost track of data but I think it ended up at about 1" lower and better bump compliance with the Bilsteins. Also added bigger H&R sway bars, because... why not?
Running 16x7.5 Konigs with 225/50 R16 Hankooks. I'm happy with the stance. I think I'm done (for now). IMO (everyone differs), once you fill that gap around the wheels/wheel wells, these cars just look bad a**.

JCW Pro Coilovers with NM Swaybars Front/Rear

Pics are of the lowest settings, I've since raised it back up an inch to clear driveways and other Cali road hazards.

Sweet! What size tires and are there any spacers? And "Cali road hazards" is such an understatement....

Wheels are 18x8.5, with 225/40's on them. Why the previous owner didn't go 245/40 or 235/40, I wonder? I want the extra rim protection and meat.

There are 11mm spacers in the front but I'm switching to 5mm spacers all around. Wheels clear the JCW brakes without spacers but it's close.

What you said. I understand that some prefer the stretched tire look but after spending $$$ on rims, I prefer at least some protection from the tires.
