I was thinking about getting the 30mm lowering kit for my MC, but i also want to get 18's in the near future. I was wondering if 18's would fit with the lowering kit?

G8BAD_COOPER has is car on 18's and is lowered 40mm at the front and 50mm at the back (or around those figures) on Spax RSX coilovers. Looked good, and handled well to boot

I sneaked a photo on Saturday of Paul's lowered MINI, parked side by side with a MINI with 17" S-spokes running on Sports Suspension Plus. I think you can tell which is which.

Paul's car looks good from any angle, and especially mean when it's looming up behind ya in your rear view mirror!
