Looking into getting these once it warms up: http://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2011-C...ers/ES2795145/

What else will I need to do along with them....or can I just slap them in?

Thanks!

 

Hello,

Since you have a 2011 , strut mounts front and rear should be ok. Its good to have a look are the rear foam on the upper strut mount. Hardware can be replaced, like the main bolts if they are damaged or rusted very badly. The Main lock nuts come with the coils. Before the install get the MINI on a lift and examine the hardware is always a good thing. Also looks at your bushings , lower control arms , rear trailings arm. Its a good thing to do.

You have a 2011 so things should not bee too bad.

Thanks

 

Thanks for the info...i plan to only lower it the minimum amount.

 

The St compare to Bilstein B14 PSS which one has a more comfortable ride?

 

Bilstein just a little more soft over the ST , comes down to what you prefer more by brand. Could be argued all day back and forth.

ST : 1.2" - 2.2"F, 1.2" - 2.2"R lower
B14 : 30-50mm 1.18 - 1.97" lower

 

I prefer more for comfort driving and durability.
