Eibach has a fantastic reputation in all things suspension. Are they the best for the MINI, maybe, maybe not. Who makes your RSB? NM? Snob...

I have nothing good to say about alta. NM is top notch in my book. Pricey components but you pay for quality.

Okay. I feel a big difference in handling. It seems to make noises underneath the car. Maybe it's my hatch. I don't know. According to a few vendors the alta bars do make noise. Even using a bunch of grease on the bushings.

There adjustable endlinks are a joke. I bout them cause they were 200 for front n rear where nms is 200 for the rear. They ratttle. Are hard to set just not great overall qualitlle. However. They do do the job with some loctite!!!

The only thing id try is the accessport. Thats all cobb which is a great name in tuning. You have to remember alot of what u see on forums is people complaining about issues n looking for fixes not everyome that has it and has a good experience posts. Much like we complain... Well about everything!! Hah

I agree with that 100% but on the other hand I have had a few things from alta and nothing was up to my standards for quality, fit and finish.
