Which gives the lowest drop between the 2 and which gives the best drive?
If possible, could you add pictures for reference.
thank you

 

Well, whichever gives the lowest drop drives the worst. If you really want to lower your car a lot (like 1.5 inches or more) get the Vmax coilovers and call it a day. Not really a performance thing, but they'll drop you far and ride fine.

For performance and ride quality the springs to get are the TSW sprigns, but they aren't really a big drop (and that's part of why they perform and ride well).

with respect to eibach vs koni, which is lower?

 

help please

 

Koni makes shocks. Either fixed or adjustable perches. Eibach makes springs of various lengths. You question seems to me entirely too vague to make sense of. Maybe you want to find a tuner shop near you to learn what your options are?

 

Ok ill be clear...
All I want to do is change my springs(not coilovers), I will be leaving the standard shocks in.
Koni makes springs for the mini aswell. So between the 2, which generally sits lower?

 

Not sure about Eibachs, but I do have the Koni springs and yellows setup (Koni sport kit). They drop the rears a little over an inch (maybe 1.2in) and the fronts about an inch. The drop in the front of an inch might be because I also have the IE fixed camber plates which add maybe a 1/4in due to its thickness.
I had H-sports springs on OEM struts (+ IE fixed camber plates) before the Koni's and it seemed that H-sport combo made the car sit a bit higher than the Koni setup.
Hope that helped.

 

Can't speak for the Koni's but i had Eibach's on stock shocks and the car looked great,lowered about 1.25'' but had a pretty stiff ride,especially over bumps. I bought a set of H-Sports and they lowered initally about 1'' however they settled in maybe 2 months time and now car is as low as it was with Eibach's but rides better.Just my experience.

I would use the Eibach if the choice is only between the two. Other than that, I would say that either Tein or H&R will lower the car more. In my experience, the H&R lowers the Mini a lot and rides well.
