Had the KW's fitted for a while now and the drive up to Derby suggested that, under hard acceleration up through the gears, there is a vibration coming through the pedals. Only noticed it since the springs were fitted.

It's dropped the car 30mm ish and compared to other cars around, it's certainly no more lower.

Could this be causing an issue with drive shafts or...?

Wondering if it's just the increased stiffness in the set-up which is allowing more 'feel' with the road and causing this - any thoughts?

Anyone who's been lowered on springs only encountered this also?

I have this with my coilovers... It's due to being lowered. When my car was lowered to 50mm it was awful. One thing to check though will be your wishbone bushes. If these are worn, you'll also get vibrations.

It's not excessive, just feels like driving on a rough/course road. Driving normally and accelerating in motorway conditions - nothing. Only when it's really being pushed.

WOT is the same for me too. With standard suspension it's fine.

Wide Open Throttle (Heavy right foot) mine vibrates too. With standard suspension, no problem.

Mine was bad but has almost gone now with coils , never had this problem with the eibachs 30 mm springs

mine does this since its been on pauls eibachs lol, going to change my lower engine mount bushes as its badly worn but to be honest i think this is what some minis are like when lowered and am gonna have to live with it

How many miles have you done? I've only today clocked 40k and she's 5 1/2 years old.

Think the bushes are ok as there is f'all movement in the engine when rev'd. I remember seeing Emily's engine rock. Think that was sorted with a new lower bush.
