Although I agree with your perspective that spring rates do have an effect!

I feel it is probobally a combination of both that causes it

You might be right. Dustin would be a better person to talk to about this stuff, though.

Good lookin' MINI btw.

The install and pics will help the R56'ers, but not me

Thanks for posting though!

I can certainly understand both thoughts. Makes sense to me.

I agree, great looking MINI. Why do the S Lites have to be so heavy? I think they look GREAT! ARGH!

Ironic name, huh?

You should check out some Team Dynamics and Rota rims if you want light.

I actually have one of the first sets of Rota Foxes on my 911. I love them. 17x7.5s and 17x9s, 215/45/17 and 245/40/17, Hankook RS2s. Awesome combination. With the economy in the shape it's in, I am refraining from purchasing anything I don't really need...Cut backs at work, little to no OT, etc...ARGH!
