Mini Cooper S R53 lowering springs part one

Today we made a start on replacing the front springs on our Mini Cooper S but we hit a small problem 😕

Nice to see the process, once again another one on my long list 🤦‍♂️ building mine for my wife.... New everything in stock ready to go... hopefully get started next week 😂

Sweet! Lucky wife- a happy wife us a happy life as they say 😂 Let me know how you get on

It’s never rains it pours with these bloody cars lol. I don’t think it’s possible to start a job without finding something else wrong. You’re doing the right thing by changing the top mounts. I little movement today will be like a knocking shop next week, it’s just the way of the r53. Shame the sound dropped out, otherwise some more great content. Roll on part 2

Cheers Colin, yes bloody microphone 😡 You’re right, whatever job you start you just know it’ll snowball 😂😂

I did the same thing you did took the shock off to work on other things and noticed play in the mounts so i bought 2 new ones ,and changed out the sway bar links also it made a nice difference

Hi there, that sounds about right 😆 start one job and end up doing a dozen others whilst you are there LOL

Not seen many m4 vids mate ? I upgraded to a g82 m4 comp last week in dravit grey. I love it, very different to my f82

Hi Lee, Thanks for the nudge ☺. I've owned my M4 for juuuust over a year now so maybe I do a bit of a review 👍👍
