  • 2003 MINI - Stancification in progress

    Figured I'd post my MINI... It's a work in progress, but I should have some stance dialed in shortly. Lots of plans for the car, but stance is the #1 priority right now. New wheels are due today, so hopefully FedEx didn't damage these ones in transit (they're a replacement set for the ones they did damage).

    How she sits right now. There's still room both front and rear to go down, but it's only 2.25" off the ground right now. I live in CO at the moment though, and given the ridiculous pothole/ road damage around here, I don't want to go down further yet...

    Looks good, I like that color.

    A while back, I wanted to buy a Mini in that color, paint the roof beige, and build some 16" BBS RS with matching beige centers. Didn't have the money, though.

      Hmm... Hadn't thought of the beige roof. I wanted to do silver for a while, but I got over it. 16x9 and 16x9.5 RS are on the list eventually, but not just yet. Broke-college-student status here...

        I know how that is... college leaves me with no money for my car other than gas.

                  I've always been a fan of that color on Bimmers. My step-dad's got a 540i wagon in a similar color (I can't be sure since the car is beat to hell. He doesn't know how to take care of cars...). It's a sick color. Ugh... Tomorrow can't come fast enough!

                          I'm pretty much there in the back. I'm going back to the alignment shop tomorrow though. I'll be adding more camber front and rear so I can tuck a bit more tire up under there. I'm gonna stiffen the damping on all the coils, then a bit more low. Not a ton though. I'm less than 23" from ground to arch... Still I'm stoked now.

                            Awww come on you can get it lower. My arches are about 22" off the ground and I'm lowering the front more tomorrow morning

                            I did have a hard time getting low when I first fitted my wheels because of all the rubbing but after a few good weeks of wearing away the arches, I had clearance.

                            It looks awesome though. I almost bought Keskins.

                              You're on 15's though! lol...

                              I'm getting some body work done in the next month or two to remove a lot of the plastic arch as well as the wheel well liner and some of the metal around the wheel well too. Once that's done, I'll have way more room to go down. I'm gonna wait to really slam it until I'm back in CA where the roads are good year round.
