MINI Madness

MINI Madness has some. I know they work with stock and koni FSD's. Some have not been able to use them with coilovers ( M3ntal was not able to get them to work with Cross C/O's).

Here's a link:

Well when i saw the price i was a bit apprehensive to buy these, But ened up one of the few items i am super happy with!
I live 15 miles from my work, and it is a drive on grooved concrete interstate, i had this high frequency bounce / oscillation in the rear, even with koni yellows almost dialed full stiff, On the rack i could see the soft foam bushing give about 3/4 of a inch just by pushing up on the rear wheel,

After installing the mini madness bushing the high frequency oscillation is gone, Money well spent
