    Spotted a grewt looking Yellow Cooper on the M8 on Saturday around Hillington. Black bonnet stripes, nice alloys and centre exit Cooper S style exhaust ( looked like a Miltek or something similar)

    Gave a wee hoot of the horn but got nothing back i think.

    Who are you??? Shame on you for not waving he he

    I got them fitted down at LOHEN. A long journey but wanted the job done properly. The car when you see it is sitting at about 50mm but i am considering raising the height back up to around 35mm. I have no problems with the 50mm drop but i do experience a little vibration which will noramlly happen when you lower more than 30/35mm. It is a common problem with MINIS which is a little frustrating (something to do with the axles) but apart from that the KW Coilovers are fantastic and would well recommend.
