i've seen a lot of good reviews of the br series of bc coilovers on the mini....but what about the RM series-they're both about the same price but are supposed to be a beter spec, anyone used them? links below for reference.

I have not used them, but I would bet COR BLMY would know something about them PM him.

 

From the provided write-up the RM series looks like a good deal. The spring rates appear to be the same. The shocks even appear to be similar except the RM has the advantage of being inverted. Also the RM appears to come with front adjustable camber plates.

 

The BR series have front adjustable camber plates, so that point is a "wash." But, the inverted system is usually nicer to work and play with...

 

The advantage of inverted front struts basically comes down to slightly less unsprung weight, slightly less shock fade on longer track sessions, and the strut is a slightly stronger and can handle side loads better.

Bilstein, Ohlins, some AST models, all use this feature. It's not a "must have" IMO, but sorta nice.

Quality of the valving is the #1 most important feature for any suspension, along with total suspension travel (depending on your chosen spring rates).

I have not seen i've seen a lot of good reviews of the br series of bc coil overs. How you got this fabulous opportunity.

 

I have them on my car now. I have had alta springs with stock suspension, alta springs withn koni yellow, tein coilovers, and I have to say the bc's are my best setup yet
