You're correct for the most part. Most of us will never experience the unreasonable sinter conditions you all do in the east and mid west. It all depends on where you hang your hat as to what the climate is like...
Yeah this seems like the more thoughtful thing to do . What kind of suspension did you put on your mini?
So will that be good for the winters up here ? We get probably like 2 or 3 feet of snow sometimes at a time
Koni sport shocks and Swift Spec-R springs, at the great advice of many of the helpful people here on MA.
H&R is based in Germany (including all of their manufacturing). They aren't blind to weather concerns.
ALASKA is really effing cold in the winter compared to Germany. I agree H&R does make some damn food parts.
So does any body thinking I'll have a problem with the suspension as with the dropping of it cause we have very bad road up here pots holes and uneven road would you guys still try and get after market or just stay with OEM
You will have to watch the pot holes, but I would go aftermarket. Oh and maybe point that MINI south!
Only you can make the call on if lowering your car is a good idea. Lowering your car will lose you suspension travel. My car is lowered about 1/2 inch & there are times I miss that 1/2 inch of ground clearance.
Well that's what I mean crashton lol I've never lower a vehicle but is there a way I can get aftermarket and keep the height I have now with my stock mGS02 I know I'm thinking about moving down maybe east coast lol
If I lived where you do I wouldn't lower my bar, that's just me. Maybe wait until you move & then alter your cars suspension.
Nothing wrong with the stock one if you ask me. Once you wear it out change it. That's what I did with mine.
KW makes a great set of coil overs and you will be able to raise and loser your car to any height you want. You will even be able to go higher than stock for those crappy roads and snow. If you add a good set of snow tires your MINI will be unstoppable.
