slam yer front more! i still see wheel gap

what kind of wheels u running?

 

Honestly I'm not a fan of the cabrio....but this ranks up there with one of the best MINI's I've ever seen! That's just drop dead gorgeous man. Well done!!!!!!

 

that's wicked

 

Thanks everyone I really appreciate the compliments!

I too was unsure of the cabrio when I bought it, this is my first convertible. I have to tell you that I have not been disappointed. Having the option to drop the top has been a great experience hell, this whole Mini thing has been a great experience!

Thanks again for the kind words!

 

Glad that you like the cabriolet! It's not froeveryone, but yours has turned out very well indeed!

 

 

Front cant go lower =(

 

DO you like the new stance? I was thinking about buying a set of these...

 

If it was a bit lower in the front it'll be perfect.. still got a finger gap between
But i guess if you get it with the old set of springs then it'll be low enough.. thinking of switching to those myself

 

hey.. u got the H&R in.. that was fast..!
but r u sure you can't set the car any lower? cause i recall H&R can be quite slammed.. aren't they?

we should go for a night drive sometimes man.... take some nice pictures!

 

Moderately lowered on Dinan S3 pkg; 16x7 slipstreams ET45 - 215/45/16 Hankooks

 

Well i decided to use the new springs that H&R provided cuz supposingly the old ones were too low..
Guess i should've just used the old set and then my car will be slammed
Maybe i'll put in the lower set if i have time/ if i can unbolt the top nut

 

Here's mine running Cross Coilovers

 

Where did you find Spax coil overs?

 

I thought the Moss Mini or Mini Mania had them. I know they only fit the 2002 models, and only some of them on that note. Probably run cheap since they don't make them anymore iirc??

 

Love the classic look and nice drop. My friend has a car similar to yours but with checked mirrors.

 

I'm too scared to lower mine... I already have a hard time at school and my neighborhood haha

 

What do you mean?

 

There are some really vicious speed bumps and hills around my school and i see a lot of lowered cars have a hard time around them

 

oh dat sux. i scrape the bottom all the time now after lowering

 

Can't remember if posted in here or not yet.





I must admit, I thought that I would encounter many more difficult situations due to clearance issues, but so far, very few. Even then, the extra attention/care I must give due to the height, is far outweighed by the look it achieves, IMHO.

 

Nice Astro! BTW.....what rims did you end up getting? Look's great....

 

Some updated pics. TSW springs, Ireland Adjustable Camber Plates, H Sport 19mm rear sway bar and H Sport adjustable lower rear control arms as far as suspension mods.

 

 

Yeah, I was concerned about that too. I have to go over about 5 sets of speed bumps on my way too work so I couldn't go too crazy with my drop. In stock form, my MCS looked like it had been "lifted". I just couldn't live with it. I decided to go the conservative route and got some AC Schnitzer springs that only dropped it an inch. I would have liked to go lower, but I think it looks at least respectable now. I haven't had any scraping issues whatsoever and am satisfied with the stance.

You shouldn't have too many problems if you get a linear spring such as TSW that only drops you an inch give or take.

Just a suggestion.
