Cold wound of the highest quality chrome silicon material, shotpeened, and then powdercoated... 3/4" average drop front to rear, with the front settling in about 5/8" to 3/4" drop and the rear about 7/8". Why the difference? We think all the rake from the factory looks silly. If you only want a slight drop to close up the wheel gap, look no further.
Linear design front and rear, slight increase in rate over stock in front and rear - they play well with OEM shocks/struts, Koni Yellows and Bilstein SP's. The ride with OEM shocks/struts is by far better than with OEM springs... The front and rear spring rates are the same - a combination that we have tested time and time again and that we feel works the best... It allows you, the user, to dial in whatever you want with a rear swaybar.
Being that they're cold wound, they won't sag in, and the rates are more predictable... These are top quality springs!
Note: These springs have not been evaluated or tested for the 07 MINI R56.

ride terrible
If you are buying them for lowering and racing, I guess they are maybe what you want. But they destroy your ride and comfort. Do not believe the TSW Website, that they ride as good as stock with stock struts. That is completely untrue! You'll be amazed at what people will say to sell you anything!

So far, I really like my new TSW Springs. They replaced the H-Sport PLS that were bottoming out with each and every highway irregularity. The TSW Springs have pretty much eliminated that problem...sure, some roads are still bumpy, but, with the MINI's short wheelbase, they will always be that. On the otherhand, the bone-jarring crunches of the H-sports are now gone, and I have a much smoother ride. Yep, I like these springs so far [they are about 1,000 miles old]...they were well-worth the money I paid, IMVHO!
