[mini*mad]

Hi, ive got 13 x 7 wheels and the classic zeemax body kit
and just wondering how low you can go without it being a MAJOR pain
to get over speedbumps & up ramps to petrol stations etc.

i had an era turbo bodykit before on 13's and even though its abit smaller it still use to catch

i love the look of low minis and not too much of an arch gap aswell as stiff suspension

im just about to get the whole car resprayed in an expensive colour and really dont want to scuff
it up - but as it will only come out in summer it will spend most of the winter
tucked away!

ive had adjustable suspension, hi-lo's and koni sports (the red late mpi ones) on it previously
and to raise the car up and down is a major pain as it takes ages to get it all even

or i can get adjustable coilovers as they are abit easier to adjust but require
the whole weight of the car to be in one re-inforced mount


but at a similar price im toying with the idea of rayvern electric suspension that im hoping i could get to work
in a similar way to my old range rover - slammed when parked, raise up a tad for normal driving
and when i reach the dreaded ramp raise again
and would use the standard mini subframes etc.

would this be the best way to get round the problem?

the car really is my pride and joy and im never going to sell it so i dont mind spending the money
and as its in a heated garage the elements wont be able to get to it all!

if anyones got a rough fitting guide or pics for both that would be handy!
