My dealer (classic) put my order in COMPLETELY wrong . When it arrived, it was way too different from the car i wanted, so i turned it down.

That's just not right.
Are you able to try again? You just don't seem like a "2007" MC/MCS guy.

Hopefully, I am not being redundant here:

I am looking at the new Moss Mini catalog (just got it today). On page 19 they show a set of Apex springs. 'They'll lower your Mini 30mm, without the harsh ride you get from inferior lowering springs.' They cost only $129.95.

Does anyone have any experience with these particular springs? They seem to be what I want because I don't want my ride any harsher than the comfortable level it is at now.

After installing these, or other, springs, will there be any issues that an alignment won't take care of? Because the car is sitting lower?

Thanks for any and all info.

I suggest an evening of searching & reading the "performance mods :: suspension" forum, there's tons of options, all depends on your ride preferences...

thanx.


i have an obx header, magna flow high flow cat and a magna flow cat back. sounds insane!!!!


justintime - i run megan coilovers and camber plates. they were fairly inexpensive and work great. you might wanna go with something else if your lookin for a serious track set up but, other wise i feel that megans are the best bang for the buck as far as coilovers are conserned.
