I can beat that, plus if I really wanted to play with the hi-lows a bit more and get it sitting on the bumpstops, even lower.

Somebody say low minis?


cant get any lower then my old one.. not for road use anyway (in my opinion)

I had to cut away body work, and even the inner part of the plastic arches.. and I was running 10x5 wheels. for reference, if you turn your ignition key flat on its side (like its laid on a table) that was the clearance I had between the arch and wheel and didnt have scrubbing!
to acheive that, I modified the compitition cones after running them in (on the front) the rear all I had to do was use the HI LOs.

This car was my daily driver, and didnt really worry about bumps etc... the only thing I had to do was turn the link pipe of my exhuast up into the tunnel

Looks photoshopped to me

[scoticus]

that picture is. cant find the picture of when it was lowered

[mini_mad69]

Lowered it a bit more at the back since then.

Handles well, but is a nightmare to drive on the road.

[leaky]

Mine was lowered more at the front then back as I had to take people to college in it. Doing Riv Run I had 4 people in it plus our weekend of food and of course lots of alcohol and that rubbed loads.

This pic is the best one I have showing how low the front was though.

[Darjan1275]

what is your set-up of suspension, and do you satisfied with quality of driving?

[vini]

vini, how have you got your car so low? what set up up you using?

spax coilovers allround,with chopped down rear springs Dean

[joakwin]

i just got adjustable lower control arms with poly bushings for mine today

got a set of hi-lo's and mini tastic fast road springs and lowered gaz shocks, mini spares hd tie rods

thats how im gonna lower the front as much as i can, and use the adjustable arms to keep the ball joint
in a ok amount of travel in them
