Suspension Lowered on H&R Springs with Alta 22mm Sway
SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs.
Finally took some photos of my R56 dropped on H&R sprngs. Also added the Alta 22mm Rear Sway. Love it. I can confirm it helped quite a bit with torque steer to the point of virtually eliminating it. I have noticed improved turn in with the rear sway, but will really test it on the track soon.
No. We measured toe after the swap and the front had a slight toe in which was fine. It does not pull either direction on the highway and shows no signs of misalignment. We adjusted the rear cam bolt to remove some of the added camber from the drop but it still added a fair amount. But to me, coming from an E36 M3 with Ground Control suspension, that is a good thing. I may take out the set screw inthe front struts and slide them in as far as possible in the tower slots to get as much camber out of the front as possible. If I do that I will probably also do a string alignment and set the front toe to zero.

you have a really nice car.
was it hard for you to do the beltline?
i was a pain in the butt for me to do it and it's peeling out right now :(

I got the 3M tape from Outmotoring (I think) and it was a breeze. I have done all of the blackout myself and the key is heating the tape to make it pliable. I hardly used any heat on the beltline and did it only at the curves because the heat allows it to stretch and you don't want to reduce the width of the beltline tape by stretching it too much. I forgot that the tape had a clear film on top for a day or so. When I took the protective film off it looked 10x better.
