Lowering a mini

Has anyone fitted just lowering springs to their mini?

Whats the ride like?

I have a mini one on 17s and i'm thinking of lowering it 30-40mm

Thanks

Quite a few people, have you tried searching the forums, maybe for lower* especially in performance and tuning and exterior forums.

I've got the H&R springs on mine. I'm running 17"rims w/the Perelli runflats. The ride is a bit stiffer but not to the point where it's uncomfortable. Plan on getting the adjustable control arms, too, so you can get your alignment straightened out.

If you run a search, I'm sure you'll find alot of info already on the board.

No problem! I was on here a month before I found it!

It's located in the little blue boxes below the welcome paragraph.
