Looking for 02-06 coilover install thread.

I did a search but can't find it. Need pics and general how to. I've done suspension on old 911s but not a Mini. I have the Bentley manual but need more info.

Thanks in advance.

Theres a great pdf available from m7. Thats what we used when we did mine

http://www.m7tuning.com/tech.html

Some brands of coils are different but its pretty easy to figure out. You'll mainly need it for disassembly, reassembly is relatively straight forward.

And I think the pdf is for 2nd gens but its all the same.

Lemme just tell you now, the fronts might give you a little trouble removing. On mine, the drivers side strut came out pretty easily, but the passanger side took over 2 hours. It ended up taking lots of persuasion and wd-40 to get it free. The rears are really easy. Just unbolt em and they drop out. Re-installation is just as easy.
