I've got Cross's on our Clubman running the 18x8 Rota MC's and I needed 5mm spacers up front.

 

Anyone have pics of an R53 slammed on these?

 

might wanna try the R53 forum for that.

 

Half of the cars in this thread are 1st gen. A pic of a 2nd gen would work too, I just want to see how low they can go.

 

I know, I wish there was more pictures of slammed cars in here. I have yet to see very many pictures to support how they look and ride stance on the MINI

 

go check thewanderer's car over on M|U he's the lowest MINI on coilovers and he's riding on vmaxx's

 

Thanks, he's got a sick MINI.

 

Thanks

 

Update: 18x8 et 45, 15mm spacers

 

wow!
where did you get that gas door?

 

The dealer

 

YUMMY

 

Bump, after a few thousand miles, mine are still going strong. The ride is stiff, but that'll happen with any set of coilovers when they're this low.

Ride height with one person in it:

 

anyone care to update addition experiences...?

 

Full year later on my (custom) vmaxx setup. Still love them. Their ability to go low is their strongest feature IMO. Ride comfort is a bit stiff, but that's to be expected from driving a slammed car. I personally love the ride and you just can't beat the price.

At the same time, I can see why they wouldn't be for everybody. If you're looking for a smooth soft ride and aren't worried about slamming your car, there might be better options out there.

 

Cost/benefit is awesome though. They go real low, they're real cheap, and they seem well built.

 

For sure

 

They aren't so good......I had VMaxx's on my VW Passat and they are cheap.....which is what you get. They ride nice for about 5K miles then they get really bouncy and ride like garbage. I sold mine and went to H&R Sports and Bilstein Struts. If you buy a new car and put cheap suspension on it you deserve to be kicked.

 

They will probably get really bouncy after 5k miles of railing potholes with 3/4" of travel.


Ive got almost 10k now on mine (on an R53) and they are as good as the day I put them on. They have a nice 2 year warranty as well, so if you do blow one out, give them a call and get a new set.

 

H&R + Bilsteins on a MINI is gonna be just as bouncy if not more so. Our cars are so limited on travel that lowering springs on aftermarket struts just leaves you literally riding on bumpstops 24/7.

Besides....H&R springs leave you with wheelgap

 

wheelgap kills.

 

FACT.

 

 

yes, wheelgap does kill! that's why i got my set of vmaxx's on the way wheeeeeeeeeee

 

nooo thats my car sooo mean glen. jk lol
stupid wheel gap,
i just need a few more bills...
