I have been looking at the possibility of lowering my car a bit further than what the TSW springs offer. I noticed that Helix has a stage 2 H&R spring (never heard of this before) that claims a lowered height of 1.2 and 1.4 inches respectively.

Does anyone have these or maybe have pics of this setup? I think they could be a great combo with the Koni Yellows. What do you think?

 

I would suggest coilovers. You get the stance you want and the ride quality without guessing which combo will work the best. ST makes a coilover kit that is affordable and rides very nice. I've noticed my Mini customers like the idea of having a slammed stance for the summer months and a "no wheel gap" stance for the winter months. Let me know if I can answer any questions you might have.

 

They told me that they are just like every other H&R springs for the Mini. So not sure why they label them differently.

 

Good to know. I think I am going to stick with my TSW springs for now. Good performance, good stance, and the Konis should only improve the performance. Sometimes, you just have to stop chasing after something and realize what you have isn't all that bad. In fact, it could be great. Installing the Konis on Wednesday!
