Suspension Coilovers rubbing against trailing arm?
SuspensionSprings, struts, coilovers, sway-bars, camber plates, and all other modifications to suspension components for Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs.
Recently installed BC coilovers, and noticed this yesterday. Probably isn't a huge issue, but the bottom edge seems to be rubbing against the trailing arm.
I could be 100% wrong but I think that nut goes on the side with the poly spacer and flipped so the smaller part fits in the hole and the cones line up. So it looks like it goes from outside in.. Bolt head, coilover, poly spacer, metal spacer, trailing arm.

Normal? Or did I mess up somewhere?

I made the same mistake. they should be metal to metal. doesn't make sense, but yes, you're coilovers are bolted on the wrong way.
