I love your car!

 

Gotta add my car. 18" Excel M7's with 235/40's:

 

I'm guessing by the majority of folks running with these springs and LT5's that they don't experience rubbing with the stock shocks and M7 springs?

 

is that chrome or C/F?........on ur mirrors..

 

that's correct, I'm running that set-up with the standard size run-flats and no problems at all, then again all I've done is drive solo since I installed the springs 2 weeks ago

 

that's awesome looking but it almost mandates BIG brakes to fill those holes

 

Dude, your rims are A1! What brand are those?

 

I was thinking I'd go either with a coilover (prefered) or springs and koni yellows.

I drive in the winter, so CO's are likely not the ideal solution, unless I swap it out for the winter months.

Now thats a lot of fun

 

How bad is rubbing with 235/40 tires?



They look like Flik Wasps.

 

Whoa! Your car looks hot! I need to get myself that aero grill soon! Maybe during the winter.

Unfortunately I don't have many pics of my car, but here is a some directory of some pics of my car. http://www3.telus.net/ivs/MINI/ They range from back in the day when it was stock, all the way till now. Looking back, it's quite a transformation from stock.

 

Chrome...with a carbon fiber look (j/k).

 

I agree, just haven't been willing to pony up the $$ yet.

 

I haven't had an episode of rubbing ever, so I'm happy with the setup.

 

:smile: kool!

 

no rubbing? is that possible ? i've 18" with 225/40 now, really want to change the springs but still afraid of rubbing

 

time to move this "Ro_Ja LT5 wheels and M7 springs" thread back to the top - a new pic of my baby
