Hi, i opened this thread for the people that, like me, are going to change springs and shocks to their MCS...

Who has lowered his MCS can here post pictures and tell us what kind of springs or shoks he bought.

I hope that this thread can help a lot of people!!

 

Hey there! Welcome to Nam!

Just wanted to let you know that the search feature will be of great use to you. There are plenty of threads that already cover the lowering topic.

Search away!

 

Here's a start even if it's Gen 1

 

Always love showing it off

 

 

Here are a couple of mine! H&R's with the stock sport shocks. Just like a96bimmerm3 I LOVE TO SHOW IT OFF!

 

H&R Sport Lowering Springs on MINI's Sport Suspension:

 

sweet car, nice shot too

 

Is it me or do the H&R lower the rear a bit more than the Mach V's do?

 

0.2 inches lower they say.

What wheels are those?

Love the stance too.

 

Thanks!!!

The wheels are OZ Ultraleggera 17" x 7" ET37

 

That is what I though. I was thinking about getting the the black 16in version.

That was the method of lowering? How is the ride?

 

I have H&R coilover....very impressive on trackdays but not very confortable on street and daily driving

The lowering is about 6 cm

 

Just installed Dan's (Mach V Motorsports) springs yesterday. This was a base S car and even though MVM's recommendation for these springs is Sport Pkg. dampers, I have no complaints with the results on a stock S suspension. I don't think it's over-sprung for daily use, although I haven't had enough time to really challenge the new setup.

Before:



After:



The best part of these springs (besides them being Red ) is the progressive rate. The ride is more compliant than stock and really makes the car feel tight - even on harsh, square-edged bumps that would previously upset the chassis. Other benefits include complete loss of the hairy-*** torque steer that came as standard equipment, and of course trimming back the butt-ugly wheel gap.

Loss of the dreaded wheel gap:



Thanks for a great product Dan, you nailed it with these springs and at a great price too.

 

Andrea, what size tyres are you running?

 

Toyo R888 size 205/40 R17

 

Nice drop and wheels. Those are the Excel TZ-10s, right? Are those HyperDark or Gunmetal?

Thanks

 

H & R Springs...non-runflats. Rides better then stock.

 

i have a set of brand new H&R coils for sale and a set of Alta Rear Control arms PM me for more info!

800 for the coils
200 for the arms

 

I just got my HR springs last week

 

Dan's Mach Vs on stock sport suspension/stock 17 in runflats and wheels.
