Looks sick Matt!!
What size wheel you running?
Still trying to figure out what and how I'm going to get that look with my 10"'s.

 
They are 13x7 currently but I am going to get new dishes made for them to take them to 13x8 at the rear and 13x7.5 at the front
 

 

I tubbed my arches and added some rear camber brackets to add some more stance! Got some plans to add some more lows as well as adding front camber and getting some wider dishes made for the wheels to improve the fitment all round[/url]
Opinions?

That looks awsome, what's the set up in terms of suspension do you have?

 

There is nothing special about the suspension at the moment, it is just hi-los, camber brackets and tubbed arches but as I mentioned I've got something planned to take it lower which will mean completely changing the suspension

 

Amazing how you can ride it sitting so low.. Do you think that with adjustable shockers one can get the car to stay even lower?
I have hi lows and camber brackets but i can't have the car that low

 

 

To go lower static you would need to fit a kit like what minitastic offer or cut the bump stops out but if you use it daily like me that's a big commitment which is why I'm looking at other options

 
Haha thanks man, they are force racing turbo TF wheels

Seen as that people are liking it here's another snap

What kind of options? My car is for me to drive whenever i want, so i'm looking for something that can give me a harder suspension. I only have hi-lows and stock shock absorbers, do you think that GAZ adjustable ones can provide a harder suspension and allow me to lower the car a little bit?

When you start getting properly low you'll run into issues with the top ball joint binding up and snapping

This is my concernwhen going lower than I am.  No way round it as far as I can see if going static.  Air ride you get for Minis is bulky and the lower arms you see in some kits are a bit 'backyard' in appearance.

Well I may be able to let you know what it's like next year...

Excellent, that is exactly what I'd planned on doing once I pick up a spare twin bolt subframe to modify. More than likely going to remake my top shcok mounts yet again to get a better angle of operation on the coilovers and some travel.

Looks a good idea, can you still get to the pin nut easily at the back with the subby in the shell?

Not really. There's an indentation in the shell either side where that nut sits. I had to 'persuade' it to be a bit longer and go higher up.

Here's an updated pic of my car trying to achieve a nice stance.... Need help on the rear... Any suggestions? I need like 3-4mm more clearance to tuck the rear tyre...so frustrating!

[minimissions]

You could tub the rear arches to get it down a little lower.... but love the look of your it would be a shame to start chopping ....

[RossKnight]

Raise the front so it's level with the rear, and it'll be useable and look cool still.

[mini-fvr]

I really don't want to start chopping/cutying her up......
I was thinking of having 3mm shaved off my rear "spacered" drums, to pull the wheel in a hair. Anyone ever try that?

Looks sick like this, I'd leave it with that to be honest. I tubbed my rears and always wanted to go lower, but now i wish i had the sort of stance you have.
