Very, very interested in the BC's. Two questions:
1) At their highest setting, how much lower than stock is the ride height?
2) How would you characterize the ride quality of the BC's on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being pillow soft and ten being ridiculously harsh?
Thanks! I'll send you a PM.

You can make the BC's anywhere from 0.5" higher than stock to 1.8" lower than stock depending on lower bracket and spring load settings.
Their ride quality is directly correlated to their damping setting and spring rate. For the included springs to be critically damped the ride quality will be one full step firmer than a stock '02-'04 Cooper S [not to be confused with run-flat tire induced harshness]. You can setup the BC's to be Caddy squishy or practically immovably stiff, so giving a single point is irrelevant. -
The BC coilovers are spoken for by a local MichiganMINI friend that I offered dibs to. Sorry guys!
Also, I have a boatload of R53 interior bits [rear seats, panels, seatbelts, head curtain airbags] and stock front brake pads with 20 miles on them.
Cheers,

Does the GRS represent an actual improvement over stock? If so, what is it?

So, street MINIs including those looking for absolutely amazing craftsmanship under the bonnet, this has your name all over it. :cornut: -

Appreciate the honesty
Am I to assume that your custom work will be for us open-track session people? I suppose that's another thread...
Good luck with your sales... -
Bump. Still have the GRS intercooler waiting for a good home. Also have a boatload of stock components [rear wipers, brake pads, calipers, swaybars, rear interior seats and panels, clean '02-'04 headliner [no sunroof], etc etc etc.
Also have an Autometer mechanical 2 1/16" boost/vac gauge [30inHg to 20PSIg] -
My mistake; I just checked my stash and I only have R53 front pads. I have R56 MCS front and rear stock pads, that's where I got confused. Sorry!
