Anyone of you lowered guys ever run into this problem? It seems the passenger's side axle can contact an A/C line and damage it over time. Apparently Mini changed the routing of the A/C hose several times so it's a crapshoot weather or not you will have a problem with it

here is a picture of the stock Bilsteins with stock H&R springs set on the lowest setting (lock nuts bottomed out).
It actually looks a little lower perched on my driveway than on level ground...It drove without vibrations nor issues- it wasnt low enough for my liking so I had the H&R coils put in
Still drives great without vibration (or tire rubs). Hope this helps

VERY NICE! I think I saw your GP at the dealership. Did you install the H&R coilovers yourself? I want them, but hesitant. When I lovered my last Mini, I had vibrations that no shop, NO SHOP, could remedy. Drove me nuts. I want to see your GP....we should have a Mini Photoshoot sometime soon before I leave for Maui.
Theres alot going on with the appearance of the car - red, yellow, grey, black, silver, chrome. Its pretty busy looking and all that breaks up the lines and smooth corners of the car. Also, when you can have exclusive wheels why go with after market that anyone can purchase? GP's are nice cars..............
