Just searching for some feedback from those who have driven or drive a MINI (especially the Challenge guys) with the SPAX Coilover kit.

I picked up my Cooper S with 17" S-lites last week and love it, however I reckon it still sits up a little too high. As I will be doing the occassional club sprint day, I like to fit an adjustable suspension kit. As the John Cooper Challenge guys use the SPAX kit I figure that's a fair endorsement.

Basically I like to know what the ride quality is like around town? I understand there's also going to be a trade off in comfort.
How low can you go (mm)? Any guard rubbing etc.?
Is it easy to adjust the damping rates?
Finally, will this kit fit the Cooper S?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
