I would like to go about 1/2 an inch lower, but then hit problems of the wheel hitting the arches over certain bumps.

fit a rear arb, then you can go lower without going superstiff dampers…

Cut the metal away from under the arches, stiffen the shocks, and prepare for a bumpy ride!!! |

That looks low enough, maybe too low at the back. If it was lower I think it would look wrong.

there is petty much no rear suspension. I have learned to brace myself for spinal impact for certain bumps near home. It isn't helped by the cobra monaco seats eigher.

I wonder if the standard arhes are my enemy, this photo shows more clearly how much the wheels protrude from the arch.

Thats helpfull, I think I will stiffen the shocks a bit, not use full lock and lower it a fraction. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I have to say I really like the look of this car. I'd put a standard number plate lamp on and bin the fog light for one fitted in the rear lights, but otherwise perfect.

Nic, The front plastic arch and metal have been cut away as much as I can using the standard arch.

I did have it softer but it bottomed out. so it is the minimum I can get away with. snap! when i turned my rear shocks soft, and put some weight in the boot it bounced all over the place! its solid as a rock at the moment though i hate it when i haven't braced for bumps!

What the fuck is that on the rear of the car? One of the most stupid things I've ever seen. Rest looks nice. 10.5 psi no idea how many banannas |

i have 4.5 cooper 12's on the front of my mini and 6x12" minilights on the back the front is so low i cant get more than 1/2 lock before it scrubs :) love it but the back is pritty high, great for traction not so good on the twistys when its damp, i plan to have my project mini sitting like that low with the ashes but on 10's so i may get away with it, imo lower it more XD and invest in some rivets and a rivit gun Drives

I'd raise the front up a bit and get some yokahama A048's on there, I haven't found the limits of mine yet on a dry public road.
