I just received my tax returns.
I would like to purchase shocks, springs and sway bars.
With our members I should get the right pick.
I want something hard , but not really hard that you bounce all over the road.
Something that handles (NY) city and highway roads
Thanks
Sonnie

I believe Koni is the only company offering shocks. However, if you really want to do springs and shocks, why not consider coilovers.

Give Randy @ MINI Motorsport a call and talk over what you'd like to do (720) 841-1002. He'll set you up.

I have H&R springs in my car and I am very happy with them. The ride is not really any stiffer than stock on the Harsh NY and NJ roads. If you are not going to use the full benefit of Coilovers (Corner balancing, etc..) you can spend your money elsewhere. Contact Eric and Chris at Helix Minisports.

LOL well if ya want the BEST then ya have to pay and pay dearly... for the right ammount of cash you could get , penske, Leda, double adj. custom vavled konis, take a part converted to remote res. adjustable Bilstines.. ect ect ect... BUT off the shelf single adjustable Koni units should be more than fine, coupled with H sport or H&R springs if ya drive mainly on the street.... I assume ground controll will have a coil over conversion kit for the MINI soon....
