Well the verdict is in...... Some of you may remember my post from awhile back, about my wife's concerns with lowering our 2004 MC. She didn't want a harsh or rough ride. Well, this week I installed a set of Hsport springs and an Alta 19mm rear sway bar. My wife's first response was that the ride was "smoother" after the install. I agree! The Hsport springs are awesome! It deffinately feels less harsh with the Hsports.

PS: I installed 17" wheels with non-runflats last year. Never drove the car with the stock tires.

Where did you get your spings?

I agree. I think my Cooper feels better with the H-Sports on than before.

I bought my springs from Tirerack here in the USA. I've always had great experiences with them!

I had a chance to go on a little drive out in the hill country this weekend. Nothing too twistie, but fun! The car did great, definately feels much more solid at high speeds in turns. I plan to take it to "All Mini Track Day" in July, should be alot of fun!

Definately a softer ride than stock!
