Don't use white lithium grease...it may be easier but it wont last nearly as long as petrolium grease. I read up a LONG time on the potential issues that can come with VMAXX coils so I was more than prepared when I installed mine

Let me know if it works!

 

Alright man can do!

 

Did you finally buy them?

Here

 

You're making my day, MiniMoic. I've been side tracked after the accident - threw some $$$ at a JCW front bumper... This should help. Thanks!

 

Didnt know about the accident! Sorry to hear. I may pull the trigger on these

 

How high do they go on highest setting?

 

I want to slam my head on my keyboard every time I read something that says nothing past 2012.

anyone know if these fit 2013's?

 

Maybe they just did not update the website, call them!

 

Yes they'll fit

 

I may be right behind you. Are you doing rear lower control arms at the same time? If so, what are you going with?

 

Yes! Megans as they have a couple on the MP-

 

I know ST was mentioned on the last page but as it looks some of you were looking to save a couple bucks and went with another company.

We also have coupon codes that can be used on ST/KW coilovers.

 

I have, a dozen times. When I try and place my order without even getting my credit card info. it tells me my order has been placed and gives me shipping and a new total. I left another message with this 1xracing site today and I'll see if I get a return phone call today.

 

By the looks of your sig, you pulled the trigger. How are they working out? I have them in my cart - ready to check out.

 

Daggum. Not in stock. And I was reading not so great things about 1xracing on another site. Back to the drawing board... Can't seem to find them anywhere for that price.

 

new to the forums & to the mini life, have a '13 Cooper stuck between Megan Racing, Vmaxx, and BC. after reading I've limited it down to those three.

another thing has anyone felt any vibration after lowering on coilovers on the r56? or can point me in the right direction to another thread.

thanks

 

Go with the ST coilovers, best IMO and they're like the little brother to KW's. I'm still debating between these and shock/spring upgrade. Plus on the suspensionsource.com they're $1250 right now with Eibach camber plates. Great price, plus very good coilovers.

 

they go low? That's only reason Vmaxx is nice cause of how low they go but quality I heard wasn't as good as BC. Ill check out the ST. Thanks.

 

They go 2.2" front and rear.

 

Nice I definitely have to look into them. Thanks. Rather pay more for better quality.

 

Get the BC's. Best bang for your buck. They come with camber plates, go stupid low, great quality, 2.5" diameter springs for more inner wheel clearance, and have damper adjustments. All for roughly $1000 or less. BC's all the way. If BC made the extreme drop coilovers when I bought my Vmaxx, I would have bought BC's instead of Vmaxx. Vmaxx are way too soft and bouncy. You'll rub like crazy if you plan on going loooooow.

Edit: Oh and the BC's will lay your front bumper on the ground... So no worries about not going low enough...

Or you could check out Broadway Static coilovers. A little more expensive ($1500) but they are amazing quality and use swift springs that are 4" tall and 2.5" wide so they will allow you to lay your frame on the ground if you wanted to but it still keeps great ride quality because of the 4" springs.

 

thanks man, definitely will look into both of those.
