SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Cooper (R50), Cabrio (R52), and Cooper S (R53) MINIs.
Hey thanks guys . The wheels are 18's...I'm getting slight rubbing in the left rear around certain corners and some bumps. I do have 215/40/18 tires...and am wondering if 215/35 would make a difference. But I liked having that slight bit of extra cushion (as much as i can get anyway ) under me. But honestly the rubbing isn't that bad. I think I can live with it...I also haven't had an alignment yet...maybe that would help.
I'll post a different picture with wheel straight as soon as I can.
Cup Kit by H&R comes with springs and struts and is like $500-600 you use a lot of your stock parts, strut hat, bump stops etc and it just slams the car.
Nice, but does it help in performance like coilover's do? I'm guessing no if a cup kit is $500-600 and coilovers are $900-3000+.

Yes it does help, stiffens up the car a good amount. I used them for one autocross season then ended up moving, then getting rid of the car to get my first mini.
It doesn't help as much as a nice set of coilovers. But it is better than stock.
agreed, it is a good alternative for coilovers, helps the handling a lot, but coilovers are a little better. It is like having Bilstein/H&R combo, we know they work well, but not as functional as c/o kits.
