Struts for lifted cm?

hey folks. Been digging around for some upgraded struts and springs for the r60. I'm going to be lifting her up here shortly and want to do more than just spacers? I haven't been able to find anything.

For the Countryman:

Bilstein has some B6 HD shock and struts



For lifters, most people just use the stock springs and use the M7 spacer kit. : 60-555100

Not much for the full on lifted extended suspension or anything for the countryman unless its custom.

typically spacers are first since they are the easiest and cheapest. next would be custom springs to add a bit extra lift. but typically more lift would come from the control arms for extra travel. so that would be a custom suspension. unless you can work with a coilover company to get some lift through that, but most aftermarket coilovers would just take stock height to super low. might be able to get a machineshop to machine a collar spacer in the coilover to get a bit extra height, but same travel
