I wanna drop my mini cooper s about a 1.5 inches and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get good springs for cheap or anyone has some springs for sale.

Look at HSport or M7. Those seem to be the two biggest names when it comes to the suspension with a drop.

Do you have your mini dropped?....if so which kind of suspension did u use?

I'm running the stock setup with an HSport rear sway bar. I'll see if I can dig up some pics of MINI's that are lowered.

M7: http://www.m7tuning.com/

Can't seem to find anything for HSport, maybe they stopped making stuff for the MINI.

Your drop looks pretty nice...its not too low nor is it too high.....just about right......do u know anyone who has hook-ups on some springs?

That's not my car, I don't have a drop. That's a picture of a random car with the M7 springs.

I don't know anyone with any hook-ups but you can look at M7tuning.com outmotoring.com or eBay to find the best deal.

If you're still looking, I just ordered a set of H-Sport springs from Webb motorsports. With a new sway bar it was about $450. I scored a set of Koni FSD shocks off eBay for $600 to go with them. I'll review them when I get them on.
