I want to lower my 2007 Justa. I only want to do it for the look not concerned about handling at this time. But I do want it to ride at least as good as stock. What is the best option to lower an inch and still still ride like stock?

 

Switch to 15" wheels

 

Good idea never thought of that
Trolls are out today.

 

With the change in profile of the tires, mine dropped just over two inches on the stock suspension with the change from 16" to 15" wheels. Cheap, quick, no hit to the ride quality except improvement.

 

Many options for ya. Simple lowering springs would be a great option.

 

Going to a 1 inch smaller outer diameter wheel/tire combo will have a significant change in gearing (and your speedo accuracy).

A 1 inch drop is a lot for MINIs. They do not have much suspension travel to begin with so ride and handling both suffer.

JCW springs with Bilstein HDs would be a good combo.

Also, you're in the 1st gen section...your 2007 is a 2nd gen.

Seriously though, the "I don't care about handling" preface is begging for wise answers. Why spend money on doing something poorly? "Investing" $250 on springs, and simply throwing them stock struts is not going to ride as well as stock. That's not how it works.
