Hi all

Looking to slower the cooper, Has anyone dropped aftermarket springs in to factory shocks?

If so, what springs did you use and what drop did you go on 17"?

Looking at doing this as cheap as i can really as i will have coil's in the next 6month but fancy a low look up untill then!

Link's etc would be great and images of the cars even better.

Regards
Mike

better waiting for coils imo, esp if your factory shocks have a few km on them already as i would save and wait (says the man with coilovers under his desk but CBA to get them fitted atm)

I actually think it sits a bit lower than this now as the car had only a couple of hours to settle before I took this picture :)
