Still on TSW springs, but now with 205/40-17 tires. Much lower to the ground now, and still have proper suspension travel with my Konis and TSW springs! Can't wait for my diffuser this week!

I actually brought it up a little (about an inch) and really dont scrape anything. I just pulled out another 60 pounds worth of dead weight from the interior (IF YOU COUNT THE WEIGHT DIFFERANCE OF THE SEATS) once I get the rollbar back in and everything put back togeather it will be interesting to see where it stands.

If I still had my justacooper, I would strait up DUMP it on some WIDE @$$ silver spoke red rim ROTA RB 15's, and do a flat black / cream top / white walled rat rod style show queen though. There is just sooo many ways to make a MINI look so strangely unique that everyone will like it.

Everyone was talking about how low they are. I was getting jealous...Its easy to rock a 15" wheel slammed down to the ground but it takes skillz to rock an 18" down to the ground....

Good call, I didn't catch that. His car is still resting tire on plastic though, and that aint bad for having 18"s on it.

Nah, hes not cheating hes stuck. Always loved how that MINI sits/looks.

I'd love to lower my car, but as it stands I can't even pull into the grocery store without going at an extreme angle at 2 mph.

I MAY be on a dip but it wasnt a very big one by any stretch and my car normally sits like that front and back.

I tuck wheel with no rubbing. Its as close as you can get. You cant even get a fingernail in there...lol. And it is daily driven almost 200 miles a day. Now I do have my problems because of it. The camber wears tires like a **** and the vibration/crappy roads has snapped the clips off my sides and snapped the mounting tabs off both bumpers. So tomorrow I have to fab mounts and rivet them on. Gotta repair to play...

THIS IS A LITTLE CHEATING...but by what...an inch? Look how much vehicle surface is high centered...I was actually stuck and teetering on the front subframe. I had to get a jack in the back and then one under the front to pull the car out...
