Nothing special, just h-sports on an 04 MCS, suspension stock otherwise.
Just installed them today.
Some before and after measurements.
Stock H-sport
LF 26" 24 5/8"
RF 25 7/8" 24 5/8"
LR 25 3/4" 25 1/8"
RR 26 1/8" 25 1/8"
Odd how the stock measurements are all over the place.

h-sports are used so should be pretty much settled.

From the UK.

I have 18" kei racing force 10 alloys with 43mm offset at the back and 33mm offset at the front.
KW variant 1 coilovers lowered alot on these photos below, but they are even lower now so will need a few more pictures to post up.
The new lowerage the front two tyres are about half in the arch as is the back.

not a cooper s but low anyway :D

it's the way to go
it did get ripped off later that day (first time it's happened) and I've had it for a couple months now
I'm gunna have to do it again

on another note, after I put this suspension on, it's really tight. I can feel the back wheels picking up on turns on the street! and everytime I pull into a driveway the back inside wheel comes up a good 3 inches
I'm guessing that's pretty standard for aftermarket suspensions, but this is the first time I've had one

I didn't feel like taking the track wheels off last night, so I left 'em on. The car had a nice stance, especially in the back, so I snapped a pic for you guys who like 'em slammed on smaller wheels.

heh... I've had the same thought about "Black Bettie" from Houston.

PS: I don't drive that low on the track... The boot is crammed full right now... my street tires, tools, jack, water, etc. are all still packed up back there, so it's riding mighty low!

Here are some good track pics:

Thanks! The black track wheels aren't my visual favorite, but they are sweet when really pressing the car. I haven't taken a good pic of the car since custom coloring my WebSpokes, so I'll try and get a good one on here shortly for you.

track mini on 20's

track Mini on 20's

20's...225/35 all around. standard 1" nose drop and .75 rear drop (H&R's) the car is out on the track nearly on a weekly basis and i must say the handling is outstanding given the overall width. Made some minor mods to the wheel wells. shaved about 1/4" off of the plastic returns on the fenders.


I think i'm the only idiot who has dropped a mini on 20's!!!!! hope u all like!



All your mini's on the previous posts rock!

.....I think that should just about cover it....LoL ....Les, now I know I need 20s on Carnage..Ur not the only one, but I think u might be the only one who tracks it w/ 20s...LoL...I chose 18s because the selection of 20s in the size we can use is very slim, and even slimmer for ones that would look good...Then weight is also a factor.... So I'm thinkin 19s next....u gotta show me more pics....what size rim 20x7.5 or 8? I have coils so i can fix the drop
