Bavarian Autosport Coilover Kit

I am looking to buy these coilovers for only 420$ shipped brand new from factory, there aren't any reviews, from what I've searched, on them, and I am going to a big show in May and want more low than what springs have given me. Anyone have any experience with these? Heres the link if you want to see or buy them yourself: http://www.bavauto.com/fland.asp?par...FeY-Mgodbh4Aaw

talked to my IN at bavauto, apparently they were for the 02' minis before the suspension recall and they are getting phased out

Create a new thread for the steering wheel to get more feedback I know Momo & OMP have R50/53 specific hubs. Fit any of those w/ the airbag fooling resistors then install the QR adapter & wheel of your choice.

I'm actually planning on heading out to H2Oi this year, if i can get all my buddies to agree to drive cross country lol, but since there aren't any modified mini's around me, if there are I don't know them, so I have to roll with an S4, WRX, WRX, MS3, MS3, EVO VIII, is300, no more MCS' lol
