I just had my Springs put on last night and took it for a little ride feels great! I want to give a special thanks to Sean at TrackWorx for all there help! they have excellent customer service and have been extremely helpful in my decision to find springs for the car. We end over many different options and we decided on the Swift Spec-R. This is how it should feel when you get in a Mini! Even with just slight drop it is noticeably lover just from the first sit behind the wheel. The ride is stiffer but still good for the street. I did not want to drive it too much right now without doing an alignment but the car is at the dealership now and I will be taking it from Chicago to Wisconsin today after work and will be out on the track this weekend so I will let everyone know how they handle! I have a few pix of the car from this morning sorry the car is really dirty but it should get washed after the service (then covered in bugs in Wisconsin lol)

 

looks good It wont be long till i get some swifts on mine.

did you use the OEM struts?

 

Yes, I kept the OEM struts on the car, i dont have enough money to go all out yet lol

 

that was my plan. I have sport suspension now (which is lower than standard S suspension so swift springs might will either keep the same height im at now and might even pick me up a bit. so my OEM struts shouldn't be a problem, but i still want to get some Koni yellows once i can afford it.

 

what size wheels and tires you have on there?

 

They are 17" wheels and the tires are BF Goodrich g-Force Comp-2, 015/45/17s

 

Looks good! I'm picking my JCW coupe up this afternoon from getting NM springs and H Sport Competition sway bar installed.
What wheels are those and who is at Road America this weekend?

 

I didn't think the sport sus was lower, only the red spring JCW dealer installed sus I have the factory installed sport sus and its not very low!

 

LTLMCPE, The wheels are Ninja NJ05's its a light weight wheel i really want to paint them black but i dont have the $250 to get them powdercoated. Road america is with North Suburban Sports Car Club i belong to. they are a division of the midwestern councel sports car club you should check it out its a blast! http://www.nsscc.com/ , http://www.mcscc.org/ .

JPMM, I think the sport springs are slightly shorter then standard but dont quote me on that

 

So after the track day on Saturday I am very happy with the springs, Just adding the springs and putting my summer tires on the car I shaved just over 4 seconds off my lap times. It was only my second time ever on this track and I ran a 1:35.4 in the school on 04/21 and I ran a 1:31.1 as my best time on 05/05! I'm sure the tires helped some but I know a lot of it had to do with the springs and more laps around the track. I can't wait to get some more time in, I have a pick that was taken of me going around a turn and the car barley rolls at all. I love them now I'm itching to get more stuff to do on my car to get around the track fasted the guy that I'm competing against is an instructor in a '95 impala and he runs a 1:26.1 so I got my work cut out for me but I will catch him this year!
