Suspension Confirmation on next steps- aka a properly setup mini R59
Confirmation on next steps- aka a properly setup mini R59
Hey all- snow is melting and I am about to ditch my snow tires for a set of summers so that is good!
Would be interested in confirming that I am on track (no pun intended) with the car. It only has 30k mostly highway miles, but the ride seems it could use improvement.
I live near Tahoe and we have nice smooth roads here. I grew up in New England so I understand rough roads!
Added a hotchkis 25.5 mm hollow competition bar (set to middle) and that did loosen it up some.
Desires-
- Daily driver friendly
- Canyon Carver/occasional HPDE
- Lowered, but minimize loss or suspension travel
Completed-
- Rear hollow 25.5mm bar
- Lost run flats
- Will be adding 205/50/16 Dunlop ZII Star Specs next week
If I am reading and learning well, things I should do...
- Coilivers (Olin/FCM/KW)
- Rear control arms
- Front camber plates
- Performance Alignment
Anything I am missing? I have previously had Shaikh at FCM build his KBO GT coulovers for a Miata, they were fantastic and probably pretty close to Ohlin prices plus he is local. I am open to suggestions though.
Budget is not a huge concern- would rather get quality once.

My only hesitation with the KW's is that you need to either remove the shock or drill holes to adjust the rear. That seems too large of an issue to make the 200 dollar better price make sense.
