Solo-werks coilovers kit

Price: $400

Part fits (you may select multiples): R50, R52, R53
Location (Region): NorthEast
Item Condition: Used

Hi guys selling a practically new solo-werks coilovers kit for the R53 mini Cooper S.

I purchased these on November 6th (proof of purchase available) and just installed them on my car November 26th. I've been driving on them for less then a week and they have to come off. I live in NYC and commute in and put of the city atleast 3 times a week and it is now obvious I need to go back to stock suspention. I was trying to have best of both worlds but it's not happening.

Review: the suspention has a nice ride quality but sits too low for my useage. I put them as high as i could but it doesnt go high enough. Lots of adjustments to slam your car low or just eliminate fender gap.If I lived in a better city with nicer roads I would have kept them.

These will be coming off the car next week once my new struts show up because I had to throw out the old struts they were beat.

Sale is only for the solo-werks coilovers kit and not the end links, or spacers pictured which I didn't even use.

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

Thanks

It's suspect when someone comes on here trying to sell a used product for more than the cost of new. Once that person gets caught, they then want to add everything and the kitchen sink. If you were offering more for your deal, why was it not listed in the original post. Tons of people do the same as you, but most of the time, they admit their mistake, lower the price and move on.

Bro why are you such a troll?
Do i know you?
Do you know me?

I'm trying to figure out your motive here because you trolling me is honestly making no sense.

Grow up and move on I'm not selling anyone anything they don't want. Enjoy your holidays brother

Not looking to buy these, but I just wanted to throw out here that I am thoroughly surprised to see that Solo-werks is based here in Fresno. Craziness.

Also, not sure whats up with that dude but $400 seems like a fine price, especially including the top mounts. Not sure where he's getting that this price is more than new? They are like 600 MSRP, 500 at ECS.

GLWS. I'd buy em if I didn't already have KW V1's
