Cool, thanks. I hadn't heard of them but it looks like just the trick. End hijack...

NM Engineering Sport Springs - 1.18inch Drop
These springs are truly amazing. Incredible ride quality over stock, so much smoother and comfortable, the car absolutely digs into turns now, and it gives that wheel gap a good slap goodbye. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE SPRINGS!

Progressive spring rate - 1.18inch drop

Current setup: Alta Rear Upper and Lower Control Arms, 22mm Sway Bar, Alta Rear Endlinks, and these springs....

Front Toe: -.10 degrees (toe out)

Rear Camber and Toe: C -1.75 degrees T .20 degrees (toe in)

Check it out before:

And now after: This was day after I put them on at a track day at LRP.

love the stance! your mini rocks.

i'm definitely going with the NM springs, probably going with them for a lot of stuff, i really like the direction they're heading. Their exhaust looks like it's going to be nice too.

Thanks Adam! I must say, out of all your parts, your suspension components are the best that I have used so far...and I have tried and I am using a lot of your parts!
