Looking for Technical Suspension Data

Can anyone point me to a place where I can find technical suspension data for an MCS (or non-S or Countryman)? Specifically I'm hoping to find force-velocity curves for the OEM dampers.

I saw a thread on here detailing suspension travel, I'd love to find a second source to confirm that as well.

Thanks in advance,

Brandon

Not sure what your end game is, but maybe try fat cat motorsports? I know that they do custom dampers for MINI's, revalving Bilsteins.

Have fun,
Mike

Thanks, I'll have to check them out.

I'm mostly interested to satisfy my curiosity. Toying with the idea of increasing suspension travel and doing a rally theme, but I'm just doing some research now.
