ZugZugMcD Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Awesome! I can't wait to see the pics. I received my NM springs for my clubman on Tuesday. I'm waiting for there being less of a chance of snow before installing:tongue:. 2009 MINI Cooper S Clubman
LV2CRNR Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 Ok took me a few days, but here are some before and after pictures. Before: After: Not too low, but the look I was going for. Rides just like stock and handles better in the corners.

JustJAY Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Nice. I like the stance man [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
cmcveay Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Jason, Looks great! Ya gotta get rid of those darn side reflectors! I'll see if I can find the kit that I used to "delete" mine. They just don't fit with your color scheme. The new stance looks great though! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
VioletDC Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Looks great! :top: 'scuuuuze me while I kiss the sky ~ Jimi
tvrgeek Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Looks about right. Bout an inch and a half? No concerns with the stories about failing half shafts if lowered?
cmcveay Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I did some research on that issue before I lowered KOOPER. Seems most folks who had the problems had higher mileage when they lowered it. KOOPER only had about 6k when I did it and the shafts hadn't had much of an opportunity to wear any grooves in the shafts. I did have some vibration for a short period of time but after 1-2k, they went away and haven't had any problems since. I'll hit 13k before the end of the month. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
