R53 Coilover for R56?

I've been reading and couldn't find a definate answer.

So can someone tell me if the R53 coilover set up is transferable to the R56 platform? If there is some adjustment that needs to be done in order for this to happen, how much work is the adjustment going to be?


Thanks in advance!

The front mounting plate has a different bolt pattern, and the rear shocks will need an aluminum spacer from Helix to key into the rear trailing arm. As long as you can adapt the stock R56 mounting plate to the coilovers and have the ability to order from Helix the rear shock dealies, you'll be good to go.
