hey guys,

with the help of a fellow Arizona Mini Owner club member (Todd Houser) I have springs installed. I will post before and after shots in a day or so. Unfortunately we forgot to measure before and after but I it is pretty low. It has settled even more than what's seen in the pics as youll see when I post the full shot of the car. There is virtually no wheel gap.

As for how the springs handle, they feel exactly like stock except when you really push it...then they get really stiff. speed bumps must be taken at very low speed, not for fear of scraping the bottom of the car, but for fear of shattering your spine. :smile: still all in all, i went for a ride in todd's car w/ spax coilovers and that was more fun to me. :smile: but he's tired of the race car feel it sounded like. anyway. you can see pics here:
