oh, hell yeah!!! that is a beautiful car!!!! love the headlight ring and trim paint. if my mini didnt look like it does now it would look like yours!!!!!
kalbone and rallymini, do you guys have any problems with bump-stoping during hard cornering? also have you guys had any problems with strut tower mushrooming due to being that low? Im looking to go as low as you guys but wanted to know what to watch out for. thanks!

With the megan coilovers...going that low doesnt even cause a loss of stroke....so unlike with lowering springs, i have retained the same amount of stroke as stock....no bump stop problems yet.
And so far no mushrooming...but i do plan on getting some of the m7 pieces to be careful. I also have camber plates which supposedly helps.
I continue to find it interesting that one group of Megan users reports problems with bump-stopping/limited travel and the other, with their cars sitting even lower, reports no such problems...
odd... anyway, I went with Koni coil-overs and so far I like them. I run the car 10mm higher in the front since I took this pic because of tire rub:

It could simply be that i haven't been driving on mine enough to run into the problem. I have only done 1000 miles tops and i try to avoid any roads that aren't pristine. As i said...havent had problems YET.
