It's a pain to adjust the rear because there is no opening at the rear boot, the whole strut would need to come off.

They will physically fit the ALL4, I think they would work fine, but Megan does not list them for the ALL4. Just the opposite the KW coilovers that actually work on both, but KW only list them for the ALL4

I've found over the years most customers never adjust the rears they just set them in the middle and are good to go. You could drill the holes and use remote adjusters if you really get serious, but you have to pull the interior panels to do it. I personally just pull them out to adjust as they are only 3 bolt each to adjust.

nothing, it would most likely fit fine and give you no issues.

for those not mounting a matching set (ie FWD to ALL4 & vice versa), 'Some' manufacturers may not warranty the part if it was equipped to a vehicle not listed.
(ie FWD kit on an ALL4).
I know Bilstein is pretty particular about this & often askes for VIN/Reg when processing warranty claims. (no match, no warranty).
I'm nopt saying its the case w/ either manufacturer listed in this thread.. however, it is a reality to think about.

Yup. Ive had mine on since January, been about 4500 miles. Not a single issue, no popping, no creaking. I even put the car up to double check to see if the collar nuts are tight, they still are.

No issues at all, rides like it came from the factory this way.

highly recommended.

I agree! I only have about 1000 miles on them and the ride is like night and day. It's a completely different car now and would definitely recommend the Megans to anyone thinking about lowering their CM.

What did you have to buy in addition to the coil-overs? Front/Rear End Links etc?

Get a pair of lower control arms to adjust camber and alignment for the rear.

Like he said you'll want a set of Hsport rear camber links to keep from eating through your rear tires.

I got a pair of the the H-Sport LCA's from Way and they are really nice. Great quality & construction. Also, Way ships really fast, came in 2 days from day of ordering. Thanks, Way!

Unlike most cars, you don't access the top of the rear struts from the top/inside the car. On the MINI they use two bolts that go up, through the strut top mount and thread into the body. So you access them from under the car, not inside the car.
