This may be a dumb question, but where do I need to take Melvin to get him lowered?

Were in Ohio so can't help much.......you might try posting in your local club's forum. They will probably have a lot of great suggestions for you!

Good Luck!

There is also houston-imports.com. You would be able to ask around there too on places that do European cars. If the car was Japanese I would have the best place to go. Also Momentum MINI and MINI of the Woodlands should be able to do suspension, they may not do performance parts like pulleys but most MINI dealerships should do suspension upgrades...

word. You'll need to get yourself some springs or coilovers. Visit one of the NAM vendors for all your parts needs.

Ask around the forums and i bet some one has a set of instructions for your model. I just did mine on my 06 MC. It took 2 hours to figure out how to get the front strut off. But after that it was easy It will take about half a day to do depending how fast you work and if you have friends working with you. Just have to be careful when doing it.
