I'd like to announce that YakiMini has just shrunk 1" today
 I was able to pick up a used set of H&R Green Lowering Springs and what can I say.... YakiMini looks even better!!!I'll try to post some good pics tomorrow once I have better lighting. Motor On! |

So far nothing has been adjusted!
 Just my wallet for the labor...Otherwise, I love the look AND the ride still feels good (really good b/c I like to be able to feel the road all the time) Motor On! |

I had Jim & Rocky of www.britishcentral.com (members of YakiMini Motoring Club) install the springs for me. Jim used a member of the 87-89 Jaguar Le Mans Team

Interesting...I was thinking about doing this myself, but was worried about how harsh the car would ride. (feels pretty harsh as it is...)
Looks good for sure! All usually lower all my cars...no matter what. |

Here's what I told a friend about the ride after the install. (simple but to the point) Oh yeah....And it rides great! It is hard to explain how it rides. I feel the bumps a little more, BUT it's not has harsh as the OEM springs. (smooth is the word I think I'm looking for) AND IT Looks good too! |
