JSC who is also a sponsor here on NAM sells them. Worldone has a special price that inclueds the electronic control for the coilovers. Also send an email to TEIN. They have special valving and springs that people don't seem to know about. Good Luck. Let us know how you make out.

Ken, what makes you say that? Do you have first hand experience with TEIN Coilovers (steet) with Mini's? I'd like to hear your experience.

Based on my experience, I've driven both MCS with PSS9's and TEIN SS's. I prefer the TEIN's due to its "smoother" ride, and the EDFC's convenience.

I know, people would argue otherwise. But this is based on my personal experience.

You must live in an area where the roads are well paved.
(or you have a seriously fat ***. just kidding )

500lbs/in? no way would i get that spring rate even for my heavy G35C.
G35C weights about 500lbs+ more.

btw, I have plenty of experience with TEIN coilovers including HA's,
the perch type NA's, S-techs springs, H-techs, etc. on previous cars and
on friend's cars which I helped install and tune for street. i can tell you
before even installing them that the 500lb/in is going to be super stiff.
