Scotland Got my Eibach coilovers fitted

Hello all

A few folk have been asking me to post pics of my cooper s with my coilovers on so here she is!

I would like to say a big thank you to G-Man as he sold me the coilovers and he was spot on and they were like brand new

The pics are pretty big but bare with me:





Its down 50mm front and back, no scraping with a full car on the arches or anything. The only trouble i get is the plastic bit behind the front bumper scrapes on speed bumps and stuff.

Willie

Mini_Nick - It handles like a dream mate, iv also got the JCW strut brace

Car looks great; You say the ride is fine but how much harder is it compared to standard suspension? Does it bust you back is is still smooth and firm yet handles fine on corners?

Thanks G-Man!! has been a pleasure

The ride does not bust your back at all mate, i found the
cooper s pretty hard as standard so it feels hardly any
different in a straight line however the corners are a
completly different story
