Looks sweet, and the difference in handling with the M7 springs will blow you away. Unless you plan to track the car and need the adjustability, you don't need the sway bar. The improvement the progressive rate springs make is amazing. Wait til you push it through some twisty mountain roads the first time, you'll be amazed at how much more settled your Mini stays.

The wheels look amazing, but from experience I know that ride quality has got to be terrible. You're going to feel everything because the tires are so big there isn't much room for even the new suspension to travel.

That has been my debate with my MINI. Make it look better with bigger wheels, or have it drive more comfortably with the smaller wheels. I prefer comfort, but my car doesn't look that good. :)
