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

sorry but do you have bumpstops on your car? regards, darjan...

Mini's do look great low, BUT, if you want to drive them every day, be able to turn full circle and have passengers, you won't be able to have it as low as you would probably want. I had mine very low, but it was ridiculous, had to go diagonal over speed bumps, could only have one other person in the car, and most definitely no-one in the back, I wrecked a set of wheel arches and bare metalled the rear arch lips driving from Mid Scotland to the borders before I figured that one out :wub:

Mine is now at this height, and it's drivable, plus I can have passengers and or shopping! WOOHOO

as of right now, no and i don't plan on any but
when i get her running, if i need them, i'll add in some very very small ones
but to get more drop, u need smaller bump stops so that your upper doesn't ride on the rubber, the stock ones are way to big

i have a pair of poly energy suspension bump stops that are made so that u can cut them down to size if need be

im gonna be putting in some oversize rebounded bumpers
