I am looking to to do some suspension work to my 2008 MY Mini Cooper R56 S. I am looking to do HR lowering springs, Alta sway bar , Alta end links and Alta control arms. My question is do i need both top and bottom control arms or is one more important than the other. I am also wondering will I need a full alignment after the spring are installed.. Thanks for any feedback I am car stupid when it comes to this part of the deal !!

 

Most just do the bottom control arm. Alignment is a must. I've done my own at home and only been a half degree out.

 

Endlinks aren't a must like DT told me. If your doing coilovers then yes, you'll need the endlinks.
