Ok I am not planning on tracking but more or less with me putting on the 18's I want to lower the MCS jst a tad to close the gap, what is a good spring for the money? I am not looking to do camber adjustment so the less amount of lowering I guess the better
I had APEX springs from Moss MINI on my 03. I have to buy a set for my 05. I liked the APEX's. It gave a nice stance and tire tuck without scraping the asphalt. And the ride quality didn't really change much. They were a good price too.
I was running with H-Sport on my 06' MCSC for about 300 miles but just took them out. The heavier weight of the cabrio drop the car about 1.5"-2" vs the 1" the manufacturere states on the regular MCS. That was a bit too low for me. Ride was very good, not too stiff. They're up for sale if you're interested.

I'd suggest H-Sport springs or m7 springs (drops a little more)... BTW, what 18s do you have? Post pics!
I agree I think you will have rubbing issues with most lowering sprngs ours included. You are going to have to run a seriously low profile tire if you drop the car much at all.Good luck ,
Here is the wheels, I know there are a couple different height on springs and one is only .5" which to me is not worth it but I am looking for about an inch! What do you guys think?

1 inch drop you say? H-Sports give an even 1 inch drop. That's what I'd recommend, looks like you have enough clearance, it shouldn't rub. But then again, I'm no expert.
P.S: I don't mean to hi-jack the thread and this might be of use to Kendel as well. How much have you all paid for labor on a spring install?
Anyone running M7 springs on stock shocks? I'd like the ~1 inch drop as well, but I'm looking for a slightly softer ride (until you put a bit of stress on 'em, when I want 'em to tighten up)... the progressive-rate M7 springs sound like just the thing...
