Hi!

Finally I got my exhaust fitted yesterday and it sounds so good

It has two 70mm pipes coming out under the middle of the rear end, will post some pics when I have time. Also fitted a new air filter by k&n, some lowering springs (30mm) an the BMW bodykit, it looks great!

If anyone is interested maybe I can give him an answer, their website (www.mst-wiesmann.de) is not up to date

Have a happy Mini day!

Please post pics!!!

Ibb · Jan 30th, 2002, 07:34 AM

You MUST post some pics hehehehe

Any performance increases my friend?

Lots of question on lowering the car as this is something I will want to do:
What is the clearance like at the front wheels after the 30mm drop? How easy were the lowering springs to fit - what tools were needed? Did you have to do a four wheel alignment after lowering the car?

Hi!

Only have one good pic, the garage where I have made my pics was reflecting the flashlight of my camera, so further pics tomorrow evening.
Haven't fitted the lowering springs myself, but only 1 hour for mst-wiesmann and nothing special required (except the tools you need to change springs at every car). The price is lower than that of the spax-kit, but height is not adjustable and the original dampers are used.

Mini-Fan · Jan 30th, 2002, 12:12 PM

Another 2 pics, will create a gallery as soon as possible. By the way, from now on I LOVE PHOTOSHOP

Mini-Fan · Jan 30th, 2002, 12:13 PM

And the front....

Clearance at the front wheels is no problem, it's very easy to fit the lowering springs especially at the rear axle and no four wheel alignment needed

Ibb · Jan 30th, 2002, 12:55 PM

Wow your car looks very nice!

Ibb · Jan 30th, 2002, 12:58 PM

Does the car feel harsher due to it being lowered? How much were the springs?

Oh is handling better now that your car is lowered?

Thanks

Handling is nearly the same as before. The car doesn't feel much harsher, the springs simply change "the look". The springs were 180€, don't know how much it is in your currency.

Ibb · Jan 30th, 2002, 02:28 PM

£110 using the currency converter...bargain, but it will probably £180 in this country anyway doh!

Who make the Springs?

Thanks

Do you mean better or worse than before?

monsta · Jan 30th, 2002, 02:58 PM

What happened to the original cut out for the exhuast and why isn't your centre exhaust cut into it either??

Ibb · Jan 30th, 2002, 03:11 PM

Another question, was the warranty of your car invalidated after the firment of the springs?
