I'm looking to upgrade my strut and springs (or just get coilovers) on my 2016 MCS but I don't want to lower my car because I daily drive it and I live in an area with bad roads. Do I have any options available to me? So far I haven't seen any upgraded setup that doesn't lower the car.

 

Just go with a high quality damper with higher damping rates! You'll be very happy.

 

The MINI JCW Pro suspension is all new shocks/struts/springs and has a factory warranty. I forgot how much it lowers it but nothing like aftermarket.

 

Koni (Yellow) Sports or Bilstein (HD) B6
would both be great choices with stock
springs. The Konis are adjustable for
rebound, and the Bilsteins will be a little
firmer, so take your druthers.

If comfort is your highest priority, the
Koni Special Actives will achieve that
while retaining a reasonable level of
performance.

There are really no options for different
springs without any lowering, and springs
can break or sag, but they rarely do, and
you can usually keep the original springs
just about forever.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I'll look into the JCW Pro suspension, but I suspect I'll just end up with some aftermarket struts.
