Thanks!
These pictures were taken the same day as the install, so the springs had not really gotten wore in very well. It dropped both the front and rear a little over an inch. I had the sport suspension before and these springs compliment it very well. It has a much better highway ride than the OEM springs. I also never bottom out unless the speed bump has an extremely rise to it, and then the front barely touches. (Not the front lip, but the little thing underneath which is meant to take the scrapes) I love it, especially with the 22mm rear sway. It is a heavy bar, but makes the MINI dive into corners and stick without that weird rear lift feeling. I would definitely give the setup two thumbs up!

BTW It looks very nice. Lowering is one of my first priorities for my MCS.
thanks,

It is all NM stuff. The springs are just their standard springs, and the rear sway is their 22mm. A lot of folks opt for the HSport rear sway bc it is 19mm. The stock bar is 16mm with the standard suspension and 17mm with the sport suspension. The NM bar is adjustable and I run mine in the middle setting, which makes it about 280% more rigid than the 17mm. It has been an awesome setup so far.
