Hi Gardus, this is my 1st post on the forum after finding your BC coilover install

I have a couple of questions the 1st being : Could you tell me how you went about coding the DDC as I would like to do this as the KW DDC delete kit here in the UK costs over £350?

2nd question : You say you have supplied does this mean you have this set available? I have contacted a few dealers here in UK but cannot get the exact kit

Cheers for any info

I'm not Gardus, but I did recently install the same coil overs on my F56 to replace my OEM Sport Suspension W/NM springs.

If you install coil overs, regardless of the brand, you will lose the DDC function. The kits listed as comparable with DDC just include a plug in to spoof the car into thinking everything is fine with the DDC system. Doesn't cause a problem, but is a waste of an expensive OEM option.

No idea on your second question. You might try to contact Gardus via PM though.

Hey vvetsvette thanks for the reply, I picked up the F56 used so the loss of the VDC is no problem

Not worried about losing the function really, I was thinking about springs but I don't want to stress the OEM's and also could not get as low as I wanted.

Cheers

Will their camber plates work with a Bilstein B14 PSS? I installed them but need camber plates for my 2019 Mini Cooper S JCW F56. I got the NM Rear Control Arms but not any Camber Plates for the front!!!

To my knowledge, the only way to get the BC camber plates is as part of the front strut assembly.

You can use the Silver Project camber plates, they are made to work with the stock suspensions or any suspension kit compatible with the OEM top mounts.
I fitted and sold quite a few and they're ok.

https://silverproject.eu/product/cam...i-f55-f56-f57/

Pay attention to not get the ones for coilovers, as those are for suspension with a independent upper spring perch and won't work with the B14 PSS.

If you have trouble getting them in your country let me know.

If you are in Texas I would look at Vorshlag. They make them for our cars and sell them to WMW.

There's also K-mac which I just saw in another thread:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post4446361

After not checking in for awhile it's awesome that there's finally camber plate options, Vorshlag finally stepped up, Silver, K-Mac, much better than a few years ago when your options were buying a 'clubsport' coilover and BC's were still on the horizon.
