found those pics from a lowered MCS R56 with 18" and jcw aerokit

looks great!!!!!!

Paul · Nov 19th, 2006, 04:55 PM

Not keen on that at all, it also (strangely) seems to make the wheels look really small, usually it tends to make them look a little bigger (if anything) when lowered? Maybe it's the blue spokes with black rims doing that?

S33BBY · Nov 19th, 2006, 05:45 PM

The blue wheels are a bit too much, but otherwise it looks good. I think you're right about the wheels looking smaller because of the black rim, Paul.

The R56 Definately needs 20" Rims by the look of thing's

Those pics look like they are taken In a MINI Showroom......does that mean 'Colour Coded' wheels are going to be an option, in the not too distant future?.....

at least 19", according to those pictures. But anyhow the wheels seems to be painted in the most stupid way, make them look like 15".

That is the best looking R56 I´ve seen so far. Woow. Wonder if it is 18s or 19s on it.

stealth haggis · Nov 25th, 2006, 11:17 PM

H&R one looks relay good those rims on it look like the audi RS4 ones but that blue one defo not a fan the thing with the wheels (the oem ones even works) have got a relay close offset meaning that they never fill the arch properly its only when folk go for bigger 18's like the dare x4 that the arches on the mini fill out proplerly

oooohhh R56 on dare x4's now that would look cool

R1 · Nov 25th, 2006, 11:19 PM

It's those arches that make the wheels look small! They are way to deep for my tastes.

stealth haggis · Nov 25th, 2006, 11:20 PM

i think its dropped a bit too much as well but yeah i see what you mean the arches make them look like 15's

Freddo · Nov 26th, 2006, 08:15 PM

Hmm that H&R Cooper really make me consider change from PW/B to PS/B

Whats the price on the springs?
Maybe is better to wait for coilovers instead..

minigolf · Nov 27th, 2006, 08:43 PM

The new aero kit is bad news. The first one was so good too.

Ryephile · Jan 11th, 2007, 04:03 AM

So....where can someone in the U.S.A. buy a set of the H&R Springs? Any vendor on here able to sell them yet?

...so who's your german supplier hein?

Michael · Jan 12th, 2007, 08:00 AM

The blue car with even standard wheels would awesome, those blue rims spoil the whole effect.
The silver one though, hubba hubba, i gotta get that ride height on mine, that looks great! Anyone know if H&R is available in Australia???
