Hi Guys,

I'm Peter, and this is my Cooper S on brand new Cobra EVO III coils...

I just got the coils installed today, so please excuse the poor pics :confused

The first setup is with R105 OEM Mini rims (18" / 7J with 215 /35 /40 tyres)
These wheels are shot to pieces and these are used during the snow period...
I forgot my spacers, so these look a bit shite...:alright

This is my current setup:

Rims are Schmidts Racelites (17" / 8j with 205 / 40 / 17 tyres)
I just bought these wheel...there's some curbrash on all wheels...will get that fixed after the winter...

I even drove a staggered setup for a couple of days, waiting for the two racelites :eyebrows

I almost like the MINI wheels better if they were spaced out nicely. The Racelites look pretty good though so that's cool.

That looks good man, maybe even out the stance a little bit more and its perfection. Got anything special under the hood?

Guys,

Thanx for the kind words :D

Im kinda new with stancing my own car...usually just looking at al the awsome car you guys drive...

The MINi wheels can use a 16 mm spacer I guess, will try that during the week.
Im also considering camberplates, so I can tuk and poke the Schmidts some more :D

The height on the back needs to go up a bit, the scraping is to much know :shifty...have to wait until it stops snowing though..I have no garage :mad

Under the hood...The Cooper S (R56) has a 1.6 turbocharged engine with 175 Bhp stock. I have custom software, a frontmount IC and custom CAI...
Horsepower (dyno´d) is now at 218 Bhp...more than enough for a frontwheel drive :alright

Thanx guys,

Im pretty new to this stance thong, so still learning :stickoutt

Im thinking a 5 mm spacer at the back and a 195 tyre (now 205) what do you guys recommend?
