Product Description

The H&R 50452 Sport Lowering Springs are designed for **2007-2014 MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works (R56)** models, including select hardtop and GP variants with front-wheel drive and the 1.6 L engine. These precision-engineered lowering springs drop the ride height by approximately **1.4 inches at both the front and rear**, lowering the car's center of gravity to improve handling precision, reduce body roll during spirited driving, and enhance overall stability. The lowered stance also gives a more purposeful aesthetic with reduced wheel-to-fender gap.

Built from high-strength 54SiCr6 spring steel with a progressive rate design and a corrosion-resistant finish, the 50452 springs balance enhanced dynamic performance with a comfortable ride suitable for daily use. Installation is a direct bolt-in replacement for the stock springs, and a professional alignment after installation is recommended to optimize suspension geometry and tire wear. These springs are a popular upgrade for owners looking to sharpen handling and refine the stance of their R56 Mini.
