Front Lowering Springs!!!

So my brother just bought a 1996 Saab 900s. The guy who he bought it from put lowering springs to this car. He didn't like the fact that the Saab was too low in the front. So he put back the stock springs infront. He likes it that way. And it looks good that way. So he gave my brother this lowering springs for the front and it's not being used.

So ANYWAYS, my question is: Can I put after market lowering springs for Saab 900s 1996 in my Mini Cooper S 2006???

Might be a stupid question for some of you but I just want my front to be lower than it is right now!
I got a gap of about an inch in my Mini right now. I want it lower.

Here's the picture:

sorry sir, but those spring's won't fit the mini, the mini has a narrow base, to a wider based on top, while the saab is the same spring size top and bottom...

here is enclosed of a picture i found online, but the far left and far right are the front spring's on the mini

They would probably end up lifting the mini even if they did fit.
