Hi,

Anyone knows how long it takes to install 2 rear lower control arms on a 2016 Cooper S?

I would guess it's not a hard job?

Thanks

 

I'll guesstimate about an hour. I had mine done the same time as RSB, end links, springs, and brakes. Not a hard job since mine (NM Engineering) were set to factory specs when I got them and didn't require adjustment. Give your dealer a call and ask for the install price. They can give you the time needed per their labor book. Wish I could be more help.

 

Thanks for the input

I just installed NM lowering springs and the rear camber is all messed up, especially the passenger side wheel... It has a 3deg angle so I got adjustable control arms to fix that... Weird thing is that the driver side wheel is ok...

Beside that camber issue, the NM lowering springs is perfect and a lot more aggressive than I thought when ordering them...

 

Just as an info for future searches:

It took my local shop roughly 1 hour, and was very easy...

 

What's the benefit of the arms? Just for better alignment, or is there a difference in handling or at least feel? Thanks.

 

Just for alognment...

OEM rear control arms are not adjustable.
