Questions on TEIN Springs

Hey all. I am new to the mini community and I am looking to give my car a little more of an agressive edge on handling. I am looking at purchasing the H Tech Tein springs and needed a little feedback from owners on their characteristics.

How does the car ride with stock struts?
and
What postives and negatives could you find with the product.

I'm not too worried about ride height due to the fact that my mini has the aero kit. Thanks to all who post!

your stock springs will give you more edge in handling than those h-techs.
what year is your car? if 02-03 with low miles, im sure they will work fine
with your h-techs or s-techs for that matter.

honestly, i run the aero kit and i wanted my ride lower for a better
looking stance... and went with H-Sports.

EEK!! Well, I don't want rust. I actually took it for a ride last night and decided that maybe some beefy sway bars would do me for what I want. Thanks though guys!
