Just put Koni FSD shocks on the mini and paired them with H&R Springs. So fas so good. She is riding like a champ

 

The Koni FSD's really do a nice job in the MINI. You may want to consider a rear sway bar to reduce understeer.

 

Pics or BS.

 

Isn't there a general consensus that FSD's are not design to accommodate lowering springs? The valving in the damper will not work as designed throughout the available piston stroke? And the shock will wear much quicker?

This is what I remember from a couple of years ago...

I'm now looking to a shock/spring update. I was considering Koni Yellows, but if the new belief is that FSD's do well with lowering springs, I may would consider them instead.
