SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs.
That is debatable. Although I have not been it a car on ST's, BC Racing coilovers cost the same and are a very good value. Adjustable dampening and camber plates included is pretty hard to beat in my book.
Slowly getting there, I didnt have time to turn down my front anymore last night after i had smaller tires put on but hoopefully I can tonight and get some real photos shot this weekend.
I dont think I will go any lower in the rear right now though I like where it is sitting right now.
Finally lower. 3.4 inches from the ground to my side skirt and about .7 inches from my lower valance to the ground after trimming the valance since it was sitting on the ground.

You can get H&Rs for slightly more than a grand.. I would get them over BC..
I had H&R Street coilovers before the BC, wasn't very impressed. Had one of the rears blow out after ~15000 miles, not only are they not rebuildable H&R wont sell the shock separate from the spring. Also they don't go very low at all. The H&R RSS might be comparable but they are $1400.
I had the RSS kit on my MK5 GTi paired with their sway bars and that car handled like a beast, and it went low enough for me at the time. Now I think I am lower with my mini.

OMG That is CRAZY low. Looks fantastic! Unless you have really high stiffness springs on your coilovers I think you'll be rubbing if you track your car. But hell, this looks fantastic!
To get a fair measurement of height that everyone can compare to I would go from the ground to the bottom of your fender flare.
Also, to the other person, yes I rub, alot. I have less than 2 finger clearance under the front bumper right now. But on the freeway and stuff like that even when I am on it I dont rub at all.
Boosted, your MINI looks great. First pic looks like your in the mountains??
Family lives in Big Bear, I live in Long Beach. So yeah the first one was taken outside after I finished turning down the front coilovers. I think I have like 4 threads left in the back I can down and like 15 in the front but I feel like I am low enough.
