    Been playing around with a different suspension setup lately. Sold off the Megans and picked up a set of H&R Sport coils and Vorshlag camber plates. I miss how low the Megans went but the H&Rs ride like a Caddy compared.

    I have been running a 215/45/16 on my 16x8s with no rub issues at all. Now that the car sits about 1/2 higher all around I am going with a 225/45/16. Might have to clear out some arch plastic but no biggie.

    Also Vorshlag is a heck of a company to order from. Most vendors did not list an option for the H&R sport upper mounting. I called and Vorshlag was able to send me a top nut that worked perfect.

    Your MINI always looks so good. I love it! What is the orange appendage on the front bumper?
