FS: Koni Yellows (EVERYTHING SOLD)

Everything is off the car and ready to go...

Everything is for the 2002-2006 MINI (-2007 convert).

Koni Yellows

$500 shipped! OBO! $475 local pickup / meet halfway!




I can throw in the rear top hats (already drilled) and everything else needed / pictured. (Includes bump stops suitable for lowering springs.) All you'd need is the front stock top hats, or camber plates. And a lock washer that I lost today.

They only have about 7k miles on them, just installed last fall. Cosmetic imperfections only, in perfect mechanical shape as befitting their short time on the car.

Koni lifetime warranty on these suckers. Great shock with adjustable dampening. Good improvement over the stock struts, especially if yours are on the way out.



Koni springs

SOLD

These are fine lowering springs, installed the same time as the Yellows. They lower the car approximately 30mm or 1.1". They are progressive. Springs rates aren't published, but the fronts looked very similar to H-Sports, which are 200lbs average. So figure these are in that area, all around.



PM me, and thanks in advance.

prices lowered.

I liked my Yellows. They were a definite improvement over the stock shocks. I was also happy with the Koni springs. I had switched from h-sports to the konis when I installed the yellows, and never regretted it. I feel as if the h-sport springs are way too firm in the rear after you've done the rear swaybar. The rear end is too firm compared to the front, and I found myself compensating for it with the h-sports.

With the koni springs, which are similar rates front + rear, the car was much more neutral, and I could fine tune with the Yellows or tire pressure.

No sir.

I'm not sure about ride comfort re FSD vs these at soft. But they are adjustable so you can dial in comfort / performance as you see fit. Plus they play well with lowering springs, which the FSDs do not.
