Ciara's Mini is great and all...... especially since I have started modding it!! Ill post pictures in a few weeks when I get some more mods off my bedroom floor and onto the car!

Anyway, back to the subject! The ride on her Cooper is HARSH!!!! to say the least. I was thinking of getting an Eibach Pro kit for the MINI but I'm not sure if this will make the ride harsher! I know it will lower it, which is what I want, but I want the ride to be more smooth/comfortable! Any ideas as to what will help, but also won't make the MINI look like a 4x4!

Cheers big ears!

Cooper S is not harsh dude. It's just about OK. In fact too soft a suspension setting takes the characteristic away from the Mini, it's supposed to be a road going Go-Kart ;)

Coilovers [cool [cool ...................... :D

If you want to go softy wobbly, I would guess the Mini One springs are the only way to go. They are not too jacked up.
