Hi guys, just trying to get some information comparing these two setups, Bilstein B12 Pro Kit and the BC Racing BR Coilovers. I've been looking for pictures of a Countryman on Bilstein B12 setup and have not yet been able to find any in my search for pictures. At the moment I can't make up my mind on which one I want to go with for my Countryman S, if the Bilstein B12 kit doesn't go low enough, I might just go for the BC Racing Coilovers, but I am not familiar enough with them to know if they are reliable, durable, and have long life. Thoughts between these two setups would be very helpful in helping me make a decision.

 

I have BC Racing "DS" coils which are like BR with more of a track like valving. I do use the car for just a few track days a year. They have a surprisingly good ride on the street with the standard 7k/8k coils. However..... I think for a street car the Bilstein are a better choice being conventional struts. Coilovers do not have upper strut bearing/bushings. The road noise due to no rubber isolation between strut and body is considerable and somewhat annoying. Sometimes I consider selling them and going to the Bilstein setup.
