There is a ton of posts on lowering our mini but everything I found on a lift kit for our car was a dead end when I clicked on the thread. We live on an unmaintained road that can get 2 to 4 feet of snow and we have been high centered driving in when a couple of inches of lift could have made the difference. Any help would be great!

Excellent question! I am also dying to ask what the most aggressive tire I can get away with without lifting my 2012 countryman.

I have no intention of highjacking your post!! If there is another thread, please let me know. I've searched and can't find it.

 

Thank you Braminator! That is exactly what I was looking for. I will get it ordered on Monday

Chili4, no worries steal the thread if you need it. I hope Braminotor's response helped you too.

 

You are welcome only if you post pics.

 

Excuse me for asking, but how does a lift kit increase handling in the twisties? Lol

 

coopercrap.com manufactures and sells a 2" lift kit, detroittuned.com sells the coopcrap kit

there is also an r55/r56 lift kit on the coopercrap site

i am running 205/70-16 tires on mini oem 16x6.5, et46 rims (got them from ecs tuning) with no rubbing on my cms all4 with sport suspension (supposedly 1 cm lower than the stock suspension)

someone posted that they are running 205/75-16 tires and had to cut a small piece out of the front inner fender liner to prevent a rub at full lock

my stock 225/45-18 (25.9" od) on the left, 205/70-16 (27.3" od) on the right


my stock 225/45-18 on the left, 205/70-16 on the right


16" mounted on the rear 18" mounted on the front, the car was just let down from jacks and not settled on the suspension


16" tires/wheels mounted

 

Thank you so much for the info!!

 

There is a couple of threads I've seen in the past on lifted Countrymans and larger tires. Keep searching.
