What is your source for this coil over for use with any MINI?
I don't seem to find any Pro Street for the MINI. See
http://www.genxmuscle.com/eibach/pro-street.html

Here is a cross table of Eibach applications for the MINI-
http://www.genxmuscle.com/eibach/mini.html
I see only springs for both MC and MCS.

For example-Eibach Pro kit lowering springs for an MCS:

saw them on ese... i want to know about their damper if they hv any adjustments... i really would love to have a set of coils that doesn't lower more than 1 inch on avg and give damper adjustments.. and right now i dont think there's one single coil kit that gives me best of both worlds... aside from h-sport/koni combo, and i hate taking the rears out to adjust!

any recommendations minihune?

First you have to find out if this product exists for the MINI.
Contact Eibach and ask them if the Pro Street is for the MINI.
If not then when?
For some cars the Pro Street has dampers but not in all applications.
I did not find any vendors that carry the Pro Street for the MINI yet-
If you have found any then ask them about the dampers.
I don't know of any MINI owners that have the Pro Street.

Thanks for the link to ESE. Yes it looks like there are dampers.
What are you going to use your MINI for? Track? Autocross?


For MC or MCS 50 lbs $3634 for the set
Front drop 1.2"-2.5"
Rear drop 0.8"- 2.0"

Seems too pricey for most of us.
Another less costly (only by comparison) option for coil overs with dampers would be Leda Coil overs- for $1900 a set

http://www.webbmotorsports.com/suspension.php
Talk to Randy Webb about the Ledas.

And some KW (three variants) coil over kits from $1195 to $2599
http://www.mini-madness.com/index.as...S&Category=209
Or
Leda Oil Strut, Height adjustable 24 position dampening control. $1749
Leda Emulsified Gas Strut, Ht adj 24 position dampening control. $1999
Leda Individual double adjustable gas strut with remote gas canister. $3415

Well...forget that one. Just spoke to eibach again and they are no longer dedicating time for R&D and manufacturing due to the lack of sales. I wish they would have told me that a month ago. I'll take that one out the the cart today.

That's unfortunate, because it is a very trick system. True, there is no manual dampening adjustment, but the whole concept of the system is the dynamic dampening.

Bilstein PSS9's

A number of us here, myself included, have the Bilstein PSS9's. Great ride and fully adjustable. I think for the money you can't go wrong, if you're looking for CO's.
