Ok - I've got H-Sport springs, Koni FSD, JCW struts, and JCW springs in the garage (two MINI's). What's the common wisdom on the best combo for a daily driver? Lower ride height is ok, but my driveway is a little steep and the air dam will rub if you pull in too fast, so it's not my prime goal. F/R H-sport swaybars are on tap as well.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I've read several threads about different combinations, but would like some feedback from those that have run any combo of these parts.

 

One suggestion,

Sell everything and buy a New Koni Sport Suspension kit (4 koni yellow adjustable shocks matched with a set of Koni lowered springs)

I have had a chance to test both on the track and the street many suspension set ups, I have not found one that gives you a better ride, and at that price it is one of the best values.

interesting, since Koni doesn't recommend lowering springs on the MINI. I've had a few chats with one of their product guys and he swung me to the FSD/stock spring combo as the best combo.

 

Interesting,

Well, maybe the reason Koni pushes so much the FSD, is the fact that their shelves are full of FSD kits and the Koni Sport kits are out of stock until the end of September.

I even checked with Shox.com and Tire Rack, they have the FSD but no Koni Sport kits........

I drove cars with both kits, I let you be the judge

that would be a good reason for the recommendation....SWISS right? This conversation was way back in Feb, so not sure how stock was then.
