My goal is to have suspension that improves ride quality without sacrificing handling. Right now, the car is using stock struts/shocks. With everything I have read, I am looking to install Koni FSDs since they appear to offer a good mix of both. Problem is, I am currently running on Madness Motorworks Lowering Springs.

Since I have read just about every post on here saying it is not worth the risk to run FSDs with lowering springs, I figure I am better off reverting to stock ride height.

Anyone familiar with where I can purchase stock springs online? Bonus if they also sell the FSDs .

 

What mini do you need them for? R53 R56?

 

We have FSD's for some models. The stock springs we can get, PM me with your VIN and options. They are weighted for the vehicle.

 

Its a R53. 2006 MCS.

I forgot to mention that if there is a better option that fits my needs, throw them at me. Money isn't really an issue.

 

PM'd with info. Thanks and enjoy them and the FSD's.

 

Appreciate the help once again Mike. Confirmed the front and rear spring part numbers with the dealership so I will go ahead with getting them as well as the FSDs from you guys.

 

Is there anything else I should replace/add while I have everything apart?

 

Well looks like ECS can't get the OEM springs for another month so that is out.

I guess I have a choice of putting the FSDs on my 0.75 inch lowered set or continue to source the elusive stock springs.

Is anyone running the Koni FSDs with Madness Motorworks springs?

 

I have a set of 2006 MCS springs if you want. Shoot me and offer for them.

I took them off to put coilovers on.

 

Springs, because they are weighted and many different version based of the model, suspension type are sometimes stocked only in Germany. Which means they will take some time. They are not a really high replacement part from MINI I guess.

Let us know if you need anything else.

 

From what I can tell, Koni has stated that cars with less than one inch of drop should work fine with the FSDs so I am just going to install them with the existing springs.
