Looking good Mark. Certainly lower it more evenly than Eibach springs
I would go to Ambroz at Kavs. Thich 13mm would work, as guessing though wheels at ET48-ET52 wich would bring that down to ET35-ET39. I have had since they came out no issues. Unlike Eibach which were pish (Ps it just happens Eibach came up twice)

Cheers Ben, aye it does lower more evenly. -25mm at the rear and -30mm at the front. Its just enough for me to take the height out of it
Ride isn't too bad either, Coen said they are about 20% stiffer vs approx 40% for eibach and the likes. Will have a look at Kavs, shudda bloody spoke to them at united :p they were right over from me!!!!

Glad you like them. Not seen the Cobra springs on a Mini over here before, out of interest how'd they compare price wise?
Yeah I was on his stand most of the weekend. I haven't heard him say he will be at MITP sadly as that was where I usually pick up parts off him.
