Hi guys!

Could you help me out on what to get? I can´t seem to decide on which springs to go with? Either Eibach or H&R. I would really appreciate any information on making my decision any easier. I´m driving a Mini Cooper S 2003.

Will install upper and lower strut bars next week and 18inch wheels will replace the stock S-Spoke 17inch wheels.

Also please comment on if spacers would improve the handling of the car.

Thanks for your much appreciated advices.

Cheers!

Everyone says Eibach.. but they also say the ride tends to be harsher... H&R might be a better option... as for spacers.. they will make handling better but the bearing will work harder and will need replacing sooner..

I've been running Eibachs for the last couple of years, and all good. The ride is harsher than stock, but unless you have to drive on very bumpy/rough roads every day I wouldn't be too concerned.

(Note: I'm running 17" R90 replicas on 205/45/17s)
