Bagged R53's?
 
Hey i'm relatively new to NAM but i've actually had my mini for years now.... Just lazy I guess. :) I have a 2004 R53 Mini and I have it on Vmaxx coilovers, Hotchkis Camber arms, Alta Endlinks, and BBS RS'. I am really into the stance scene and I like my gas sipper so I might as well make it look good. :thumbsup: I have my rear coilovers almost maxed out and the front is as low as it can be without me having some serious clearance issues and it still isn't low enough for my taste. I know there are a few people to do air suspension set ups like airrex and so on blah blah blah. But the only person I have seen that has really accomplished what I am trying to accomplish is Rally with his Clubman. I understand there is probably a lot of custom fabrication that needs to be done since my best bet would be to use air lift universal bags and struts, but I just want to know what all im getting myself into before I make a commitment to doing this.... Basically, does there have to be any cutting of suspension parts or anything or is it just custom mounts that would need to be fabricated? And does anyone have a rough estimate of how much this would probably cost me....?:confused:

Alright thanks man. Anybody know anything on Rally's setup?

go to motoring|underground and look for his build thread. (i assume your talking about the Rally with the brown clubman and greyish R53)

Check out this thread. It kind of (really.) derails near the end, though.

Yeah that's it. I love how he got that clubman to sit. Unlike any air setup on a Mini ive ever seen before.
