thanks for the Pics Panganiban.
Car looks sharp w/ the springs and those wheels. Nice ride.
Cannot wait to lower my car. Right now car looks like a 4x4 with my new wheels. I got about 2 1/4" gap in the front and 2" in the back.

 

Badassmini, you live in Newark?? You should hook up with me and James next time we go cruisin up 84 on the peninsula. I drive RIGHT through Newark to cross the dumbarton when I meet up with him. Are you a NorCal MINIs member?

 

That sounds like fun. I have two other buddies w/ MCS. Thanks for the invite.

 

During the install party at Steve's last weekend we did back to back H-sport and M7 spring installs. here is a good picture which should give you an idea of the drops of the different products. Take into account that the camera angle is fairly low which makes them both appear to be bit higher than they actually are you can see that they are both very similar. The Blue S on the left is on H-sport and the Black S is on the M7 spring set.

Good comparo Randy, I'd say that's what Brutus looked like with the m7's. It's been a little over a week now and I think it's dropped another 1/4 inch or so more, even better.

 

What wheels on the Blue S and are they white?

 

Looks like Kosei K1 TS to me. Dunno if they're white, but they're LIGHTWEIGHT and CHEAP!!! I'm in for a set of 15"ers late summerish (10.6lbs and $149 PER WHEEL!).

Yes Sfjames they should both settle about another 1/4 inch as the cars had only been driven a few blocks as a final check. The wheels are indeed from Kosei Martyr nice pick up. I am not sure of the model though and these are more of a silver painted finish . The photo is a bit over exposed as the s lites on the black car are the standard silver.

has anybody installed Tein Coils on there cooper or cooper S? If so got pics?

 

They make teins for coopers now? I have to look into that.

 

No coilover sets yet, but they are pending release.

The only thing available from them currently are their spring sets,
S.TECH
and HIGH TECH.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the inquiry!

i said coils i meant springs sorry

 

i emailed tein awhile back and they told me the prototype has been sent from japan and is being tested right now.. retail isn't availiable at this stage for their ss kit... dunno about a basic kit tho

their stech is their spring kit.. think they told me it lowers 1.5 or something like that

also, the rims on the pic are k1-ts from kosei... 14.1 lbs according to tire rack

 

Any chance the Mini's will be able to get the tein coilovers that are adjustable from the drivers cabin?

 

RallyMINI:

Did you lower your car? What is the wheel and tire size?

 

I have narrowed it down to M7s and Hsport for springs. Coupled with Koni "yellows." Whic springs will give me the closest ,or better, dailey ride while improving my performance in the twisties?
