Product Description

The H&R 50416-2 Sport Lowering Springs are designed specifically for **2002-2006 Mini Cooper S** models (R50/R53 chassis) produced **after March 1, 2002** with the 1.6 L supercharged engine. These sport springs lower the vehicle by approximately **1.0 inch at the front** and **0.75 inch at the rear**, bringing the center of gravity closer to the ground for improved handling, reduced body roll, and a more aggressive visual stance with less wheel-to-fender gap.

Built from high-strength 54SiCr6 spring steel in Germany and engineered with a progressive rate design, the 50416-2 springs deliver a sportier driving feel while still maintaining balanced ride comfort suitable for everyday driving. Installation is a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory springs and does not require any special modifications. A professional alignment after installation is recommended to help optimize suspension geometry and tire wear. These springs are ideal for enthusiasts looking for balanced handling improvements and lowered stance on their Mini Cooper S.
