SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs.
If similar to my older version, and depending on how you can adjust the rear units, can start at 50 on front and 50 on back. Once you have driven for a while, then can tweak.
I was running mine on minimum soft (they tell you there is a certain minimum setting, like 1/2 turn from full soft). I had TSW springs and was happy with this.
Hey! Congratz for your buy! I am probably buying the same set really soon. Can you give some feedback on how this combo feels?
1.How would you describe the ride vs stock in terms of comfort?
2. How much camber you had after installation at rear?
3.Did you need adj rear control arms?
4. Does the car sit level or a bit higher at rear?
some photos would be cool!!
Thanks!
Did you ever put these on your car yet, just was curious if you had any pics of the drop.
Also want to know whats your solution for adjusting the rear once you get them installed.
I should have the car finish this weekend , when I want to go install the suspension I replaced ever bushing , well I had a bit of a blonde moment with the rear left trailing mount , I ended up crushing the mount , with my press. Trying to get the old bushing out I have the new mount now its just sitting at the house waiting to be installed , but once I get it all installed I can take some photos
alright got it put back together
springs settled in a few miles
pretty satisfied
not to low not to high
& as far as the rear go's
trial & error
kind of suck they have to come back out
for any adjustment
but hey can win them all i guess
wasn't really able to get out
for photo's
but i was able to get a fast one' when at Walmart
If you lift up both of the rear wheels (so the rsb doesn't load), you can unbolt the top of the rear shock and pivot it back without disturbing the lower bolt. At least you avoid the chance of stripping the rear bolt.
I couldn't figure out how to adjust the rear after I had them out of the car. It came with a **** that is used to turn the little protruding notch on top of the shock but it will not turn. The front ones will turn and adjust just fine on the car, but I can't turn the rears either way with that ****. I have the fronts set all the way stiff but I will probably back it off a bit. I need to cut my bump stops too I think because I hear a clunk over larger bumps so I think it is hitting.
