m7 Springs

I have heard of alot of Mini guys putting M7 springs on their rides. Do they ride that much better, is there a loss of handling, do they lower the car any? Any help would be great.

Yeah, they do ride that much better... There is not a loss of handling, but rather a drastic improvement... and yeah, they lower the car a little less than an inch I believe.

Definitely lower the car more than an inch, but I can't remember exactly how much - on my car, I'd guess 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 inches. Do a search and you'll get plenty of answers. Or, just call Peter at M7, and get the straight scoop.
