A million questions about shocks on here I know. I am running H Sport springs on my MCS. Looking into replacing my shocks (I do want to stick with shocks, not coil overs). I'm looking at the Koni yellow, I'd like to keep a firm ride and low body roll. It seems like Bilstein and Koni are the only real performance options. But are these the only real options?

 

Yes, pretty much.

Koni Yellows are pretty darn good. I like Bilsteins but their sports are a bit more expensive.

I have bilsteins on my bmw and am very happy with you.
Thing is most people that buy coil-overs buy cheap ones and the price point they are willing to go to is actually a lower quality product often making their car hugely compromised in some aspect usually ride and comfort if not overall grip.

 

Running H-sports myself with Koni Yellows Best setup Hands Down!

Stiffer than multiple other Minis I've been in with the sh*t coilovers.
I Know for fact a fact I can crank up the Konis stiffer than my friends R53 on M7 coilovers,
and another running the Tein coilovers just for reference.

Of course I have all the other suspension goodies as well.

Look no further, can't beat the Lifetime warranty either,
Go Konis!

 

I've got H-Sports on bilstiens and I love it. A bit stiff but it really plants on the ground. Also helps I'm running the H-Sport comp RSB.
