Lowering really makes a HUGE difference in the look of the car. i doc your car looks great! What springs did you use to lower the car and how much did it lower it? Also, do you have any pics that show the alignment of the rims/tires with the fenders? Would you say the rims/tires are flush with the fender or inside the fender?

Firstly thanks to minichik for doing my latest pics. I lowered the car with koni fsd's and h-sport springs. I think the car lowered about an inch. I would say the tires are about even with the fender maybe just a hare inside. The tires do not rub at all but sometimes the front skirt hits the pavement when going down too steep of a driveway. All in all I am happy with the arrangement.

I just recently put on ADR M-Sport 18 x 7.5 (they seem to be much wider though, like around 8") with Nitto 225/35/18 tires. The offset is 43 and I have no rubbing at all with stock supension on a 2005 Cooper S w/ sport suspension. The ride isn't that bad and the steering response is increadible, and the looks really, really good.
