My car with Spax Coilovers
I may drop the rear a bit more. The NYS Thruway is pretty rough and I commute 100 miles day so I don't want it slammed.
Now I just need to decide on new Rims...
Spax Spring Rate
Front spring rate is 342lbs
Rear spring rate is 285lbs.

The Cross Coilovers handle insane. The car handles like a cartoon! The ride is a little rough for me becaue its my daily driver for the track it would be perfect. I have the compettion springs but today I just installed the "street" coils. This should make it more of a daily driver but still good for the track.
I love how you can lower the car to the ground and still have full travel. They aren't cheap but they do come with front camber plates so in a way they are cheaper than Bils and many other coilover stystems.
They have adjustment from 0 to 15 (15 being the hardest) I have them on 3 in front and 4 in the rear.
Here are the spring rates
Comp coils
400lbs front
337lbs rear
Street coils
337 lbs front
225 lbs rear

The rear camber is like neg 3 degrees. I won't be doing anything for about a month until I get rear camber links, spacers and new tires. I want to wait until I'm done playing with the ride height.

The black mini is a cooper indeed!
this is how it looked like when I bought it:
And I lowered it 3.5 cm's with custom springs:
This is was my silver mini cooper S when I bought it :
Lowered 6-7cm's
This all was done in less then one year
I bought a mini cooper and I loved the way it went through corners but I missed the power. That's why I bought an mcS achter 5months
I really love the pictures above!! especially the one from CoolDaddy!
