I am looking for pictures of mini's lowered with the different springs available.

A side profile pic would be best, I'm looking for the following springs

Eibach, H&R, H-Sport, KW, and another other springs. NOT coilovers.

 

mine are h&r

I'll be installing H-Sport this week. I'll take before and after pics to compare. Stay tuned.

 

Before - stock:

H&R

More pics & install write-up @ MINIblog (scroll down)

These are H-Sports with a Madness sway and H-Sport control arms for camber adjustment.

 

ryephile,
What brand wheels are those? Backspace? Weight? Thanks

 

H&R

 

H&R

 

Just installed the H-Sport springs today. Not much lower than stock, MAYBE an inch. I do feel the ride is smoother than before. Handles a little better too. Must be easy to install. Without having done one before, my friends at work did all 4 in less than an hour. [img]null[/img]

 

H&R here, no issues other than I trimmed the front plastic air dam underneath the nose by about 3/4". It was scraping on dips and inclines.

 

Thank you guys seem the h&r are the most popular and give a very nice drop... now i heard the kw springs drop it more... any pics of those springs??

 

I have the H sport.

JCW Suspension Upgrade (just to show that it doesn't really lower the car any noticable amount):


But they do improve the handling.

how much exactly does the Eibach springs lower the mini? front/rear?

 

Nice set-up/color combo

 

What are the advantages of having the front wheels smaller then the rear? Are your tire widths different too?

 

His wheels were the same size. No differences. He actually sold his car a year or two ago, so he cant come back and confirm tire sizes....but i know his wheels were the same size.

If you are talking about the forward rake of his car, that is very typical on Coopers that have been lowered. Mine does the same thing....the front is definitely a little bit lower than the rear. A lot of it is due to weight distribution. The MCS does have the double exhaust AND battery back there to weight it down a bit more, so they tend to be a bit lower in the back, or about level.

 

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up. The picture does give off an illusion of smaller tires in the front. :smile:
