I think if is finally time that my MINI sat a little closer to the ground.Can i just say that LOHEN are great for advice, I approached them for advice on lowering my car due to the fact i have 18" JCW Alloys and my concerns about arch clearance/rubbing issues.
I want to fit Eibach Lowering springs to the Cooper having previously had Eibachs on my last MCS. Lohen advised that using the Eibachs with 18" wheels is no problem as apparently the JCW/OEM wheels have a high offset and sit fairly inboard thus reducing the risk of arch problems. So tomorrow i think i'll head up to DRIVERS in Glasgow to order a set of springs and hopefully have them fitted by next weekend and get the MINI looking brill. I feel it sits a little high at the moment with standard suspension giving the fact the 18" wheels, plus the eibachs are magic for handling and ride quality. Anybody else agree????
CHEERS FOR ALL THE ADVICE LOHEN!
