Anyone knows the H-Sport front and rear spring rate for MCS?

 

They're progressive, but go something like this:
Front - starts at 250, goes to 275
Rear - starts at 275, goes to 350

 

Thx a lot! Now I have a base of what spring rate I can use to try out my suspension. Amazing how little to no ppl using Grount Control setup in the Mini community. They are very popular among the bimmer fans. For the cost of $399 I dont understand why ppl would buy H-springs for $225 when you can choose your own spring rate, and the ability to set your ride height and corner balanced. You can even choose barral type springs to avoid possible spring binding. And they are easy to install, you can snap them on to your oem shocks or most of the major brand aftermaket shocks...plus they are made in Germany (Eibach springs) which I dont have to worry about quality and come with a life time warranty...

 

Are you sure GC makes a kit for the MINI? Their website doesn't mention anything about it. Any more information about it? I'd definately be interested.

Any idea if the adjusters used on stock units can be either retrofitted or replaced for Koni units at a later date if I opt to upgrade to Konis as well?

edit: I just found the MINI kit on the website, nevermind

 

They do. Check out www.ground-control-store.com sub BMW sub Other models. Their home page is only for information. The "store" page is where you will find stuff for the Minis. I heard they have more things for the Minis that they havent list on the "store" page as well so you might want to give them a call to make sure. As far as I know, the coilover spring kits are built to specific shocks so if you order one with oem shock I dont think it will fit the Koni but who knows, best bet is to shoot them an email. Let me know what you find out because I cant decide if I wanna do the full street/track coilover kit or just the coilover spring kit since I feel the oem shocks are doing a pretty good job now but who knows what I think in the future haa

 

Thats my main worry is that i will order them to fit the stock shock and then later decide i want to upgrade to koni's

 

Are you going to track or autox often, like at least 4 times a year? If the answer is yes, then you should get the street/track coilover kit that comes with the Koni with the ability to fine tune the shock setting to your need and to specific track. But if you dont go tracking and autocross, or maybe just a couple of time a year then the oem shocks will do just fine and you have no need to upgrade to the Koni...remember, softer shocks dont equal to weaker performance...it is what spring you bind them with to make a statement, especially on the street application...
