Hey all

Iv not long had my Eibach coilovers fitted, i dropped her 50mm all round and im very pleased with the results :D

There is no rubbing at all under the arches (even with full car)however i have a little bit of trouble with speed bumps
and stuff, as the plastic bit behind the front bumper scrapes and sounds horrible!!

Best thing to do is to take them at speed for a week then it'll wear the part down quicker. someone told me that mr mansell or mr Schumacher.

but looks good What is next on the modification list then??

Mmmm thats minted!

Your only 19 right? Or am I thinking of someone else?

If you are who lets you mod your S so much?

Reason askin I'm the same age but mods are a no no for me!

looks really nice.

Makes me want to lower mine even more now.....not many mini owners seem to go down that path . WHY?

Because it handles fine without lowering it?

Unfortunately not monki, i bought a mk4 Golf GTi Anniversary :eek:, I did think about getting another one but trying to find one with the same spec that mine had was near impossible, i was really lucky when i found my one!! Had i bought another Mini i feel that it would always have been a Mini to replace "MY Mini," and that i could never have liked it as much as my original one. If that makes any sense to you???!!:clown::)

Thanks everyone! Yeah part of the reason it looks so good
is you never see much minis slammed!

Iv not long turned 20 but was 19 when i got her.

If you think your mini handles well then try driving one with
coilovers WOW!
