fjo, nice PICS.. question, how did you take a pic from your car rolling from so low?? Makes me wish I had money for 18s and coilovers...

 

Thanks.

About the picture, a friend was in the trunk of a car infront and was holding the camera pretty low and snapping some pics.

 

I am curious to see if anyone has the OZ Superturismo on their MINI?

For the longest time I was trying to find a set of these Japan exclusive and discountinued in 2004 OZ Superturismo Evolution.

Unfortunately they are no where to be found anymore...

 

[QUOTE=fj0]Awesome, we have similar taste!

oh, hell yeah!!! that is a beautiful car!!!! love the headlight ring and trim paint. if my mini didnt look like it does now it would look like yours!!!!!

 

LMAO

John,

kalvin

 

Man thats low!

 

thats what all the cars in this thread SHOULD look like...you are "lowered" if you're just running springs

Kalbone...I'm gonna go tweak my coilovers to see if i can get lower than you

 

what coilovers are you running?

 

Megans...do the Ksports go lower? Are the diameters of your tires shorter than stock?

 

ksport does drop more. and im running 215/45/16

 

might not be able to keep up than....we are running the same diameter setup on the tires

we shall see Your car looks AMAZING, I'm definitely liking the white wheels on there

 

R-Compound tires is the ****!

 

kalbone and rallymini, do you guys have any problems with bump-stoping during hard cornering? also have you guys had any problems with strut tower mushrooming due to being that low? Im looking to go as low as you guys but wanted to know what to watch out for. thanks!

 

With the megan coilovers...going that low doesnt even cause a loss of stroke....so unlike with lowering springs, i have retained the same amount of stroke as stock....no bump stop problems yet.

And so far no mushrooming...but i do plan on getting some of the m7 pieces to be careful. I also have camber plates which supposedly helps.

 

heres mine!

 

I continue to find it interesting that one group of Megan users reports problems with bump-stopping/limited travel and the other, with their cars sitting even lower, reports no such problems...

odd... anyway, I went with Koni coil-overs and so far I like them. I run the car 10mm higher in the front since I took this pic because of tire rub:

 

It could simply be that i haven't been driving on mine enough to run into the problem. I have only done 1000 miles tops and i try to avoid any roads that aren't pristine. As i said...havent had problems YET.

 

with the ksport no problem with the bump stop when cornering nor mushrooming.


i just put the s lites back on and it looks good. i'll post some pics tomorrow.

 

cooldaddy- nice!

you should get some spacers on there to make it even hotter
