Well, I got them about a month ago, but just finally took a picture. There are too many cars near me, so I only got one picture for today. I know everyone thinks 19's are too big, but I think they are just right! :smile:
Excellent! They run sooo smooth and very stock like, except for the improved response. They rub the inner plastic fender splash guards a little, but I can live with it.
Already have H&R coilovers, but havenot installed them yet. How hard are they to install? I am pretty good with DIY's. I also got a Borla Exhaust, Alta SSK, Air Diverter w/ Spray, and I am going to look for a good BBK. I also have the Hamann Front lip, just got to paint it.
I watched my Leda coilovers be installed. It took a good wrench all day to put in the coilovers, camber plates, lower control arms and end links. I think I could have done it, until it got to the corner weighting/alignment part - then I was glad to have someone with experience and the right equipment.
Oh, BTW, good choice on wheels - HRE's are very nice!
Thanks guys! I got them through a hook-up and paid $4300 out the door with the tires. The color matches the car almost perfectly! I couldn't be happier. I might take the coilovers to someone. Does anyone know or recommend someone in the Southern California area?
The wheels look great, congratulations, you have great taste. Once you put the coilovers on, take some nice pictures :smile: BTW, just noticed you need someone to install the coilovers. I can give you a helping hand if you'd like.
goin440, out the door w/tires. That's for a full set.
Like ZAMIRZ said, that was for the set. HRE's are expensive, but not that expensive. I have them on most of my cars. Looking to buy another set for my M3, but have not decided which set yet.

Steves Auto Clinic in North Hills 818 891 6109 has done many suspension upgrades on a variety of cars. He did my Kw's and then switched those out for my Leda's a month ago.He is very familiar with all types of sway bars, adjustable control arms and camber plates as wel. Excellant work and he has a 4 wheel alignment machine to set everything back up once its installed.
H&R'sn 19" LOOK GREAT!!!
How is the ride on those low profile tires?
And what are "coilovers"?
I checked out the price $4200 and would look great on my new Cabrio.
Please provide any thoughts why I shouldn't purchase them.

The ride is just like stock or better. Steering response has also improved. Did you find 19" HRE's for $4200 with tires? If so, that is a Smoking deal and you should jump on it. The H&R Coilovers are the Springs and shocks in one unit that can be adjusted to raise or lower the car to your preference. There are some cheaper coilovers out there that do not have shocks builtin, but I do not think they make them for Mini's. They are great because you can custom tailor the amount of the drop to your specific needs. I got mine for like $850 or so on Ebay.
