    I'm getting Eibach 30mm springs fitted on Wednesday, so I'll update you with any issues regarding rubbing etc.

    You shouldn't scrape with a 30mm or so drop.. My MINI scraped like crazy when it was lowered 50/60mm when i had my Coilovers. I raised it back up to around 20/30mm and had no problems.

    If you are planning on going down the Springs route i would recommend Eibach Springs. Great ride and not too harsh. I had Eibachs on my first MINI.
