Suspension Show pics of your lowered MINI S!!!
#1176
Hey, can I get some advice from the coil over guys? I just hit 60,000 miles, have been running H-Sport springs with stock shocks for most of those miles, but the suspension is starting to get a little loose, especially up front. So this spring I need to fix this. I can either replace my shocks with Koni Yellows or FSDs, or go the coil over route. Do the coil overs always ride rougher than the a conventional shock? Or is it possible to get a decent ride with the correct "street" springs? I have retired the car from daily driver duties, it's just a weekend toy now, but my girlfriend barely tolerates the ride as it is and the roads around Philly blow, bent two S-Lites the first year I had my car. Just looking to go a little lower without sacrificing too much ride comfort. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
One thing too, you can see with two people on board the back is way low, and the front is a little high, one of the main reasons I want to go to coil overs.

Spent a lot of time reading through this thread LOL
Lurking no more...
Eibach lowering springs and Eibach Front and Rear Roll bars in these pics.
Just after the brakes
Latest Pic:
Still want Coilovers, but need some new bushes for the front wishbones. Also considering some wheels that fit the brakes without spacers. But can't find anything that covers al the bases, light (current wheels are 7.5kg), 18", Look good and clear my brakes.
Tenzo Mach 10's are something Ive considered but they're 10kg a wheel and not 100% sure they'd clear the brakes.
Plus what coilovers?
In the Uk was considerin KW V1's, but then with the dollar to the pound as good as it is, considered the M7. Waiting on a reply from MSFITOY about the Manny ones considering his recomendation on the brakes
