How To Lower Your Car! Mini Cooper S H&R 30mm Lowering Springs Install

Courtney's F56 Mini Cooper S gets a set of H&R 30mm lowering springs to fix the fitment and massively upgrade the handling. This easy mod can be done in a day and really transformed the car, for a fraction of the cost of the JCW coilovers.

so I don't need 2 bodies or 25 gold bars in the back?

[@philtucker1224]

Much nicer look and I really liked the side fender flashers!

At 1:55 when removing rear lower shock bolt, support the hub with a jack or hub stands so you don't damage the thread there. You can see how it "falls" down a little bit once the bolt is removed.

Nice work both of you, just needs tracking done and will be mint, thanks for the upload 👍

[@ghenadiegrecul3653]

Which socket for topmount? Bi hexagonal?

[@slickrick223]

Did you cut the front and rear bump stops? I have a squeaky sound coming from the rear when going over bumps

[@ditz2998]

when cutting the bump stop, do you recommend cutting the end off and half of the other 'ribbed' part or is the first bit enough? hopefully that made sense

[@savaryzr]

Hi, did you notice a big difference in the driving comfort? Thank you

[@mennovanleeuwen]

I think you should torque the lower shock bolts with the wheels on the ground

[@mennovanleeuwen]

Also using the impact wrench to loosen the top nut of the dampers is a sure way to screw up your front shocks

What are the side repeaters please?

[@ZiggyJones-oi5mu]

Do you have 16 or 17 inch wheels ?

[@calebrightmyer8307]

What’s springs and what website did u guys get them from. Does it have to be for a cooper or can I get different ones

[@JamesBalazs]

We ordered H&R springs from Demon Tweeks - if you type your reg into the site first you should be able to search for ones that fit your car 👍

[@kissedostrich57]

yo can you link these h and r's? I wanna buy them!! sick ass drop I wanna do on my Cooper S f56 as well

[@lolipoable]

Main was absolute nightmare to take the shock absorbers out

[@MT-xy7fw]

Hows the ride? is it much stiffer than stock?

[@JamesBalazs]

It is quite a bit stiffer, you have to go slow over speed bumps, BUT it's still comfy enough and doesn't make you hate driving the car (like some cheap coilovers do). I drove 3 hours to a race track in it (last track day video I made) and 3 hours back and was never uncomfortable.

[@Oplix]

How much does that hydraulic lift cost?

[@TheExStig]

£1600-£1800 a pair.

[@Rehbraun]

Now it’s a S Cooper 🫡

[@bdgrandin]

I like it. And I really like you both were working together. Means you both are interested. So great to see. I could not ever get my wife interested in anything I might like. So I now don’t try and like anything as it just gets negative feedback and I want to to not have arguments. In the end I think I married someone out of lust and depression and desperation vs out of a real connection and love for similar things. Still married after 26 years with two wonderful boys who are just leaving their teens but I am sure she would be gone if she had a job of her own and could afford it I wish she did, she would be happier. As I am just an empty drunk shell with no friends, interests or sexual interest anymore. Anyway I digressed there. You two I am saying seem to have something together please enjoy and respect that and be happy. 😅

Lowering also increases objects hitting your front bumper and chipping paint off.

Do you have 16 or 17 inch wheels ?

[@Techjunkiero]

Those are 17” wheels
