I tried several styles of Google searching, and cannot find a Sachs suspension kit for the MINI, only the BMW 3-er. Do you have a link, or where you heard this from?

Just received the latest Bavarian Autosport catalog. It was listed as a "NEW" item. They don't have it listed in their website yet.

Sachs performance suspension sets, developed by Sachs Race Engineering.

Sachs has been designing and building race suspensions for years. Now Sachs has tapped into all that knowledge and experience to create performance suspension sets for the street. Progressive-rate lowering springs and performance shocks are perfectly matched on all four corners. Each set is engineered for a specific automobile, then track tested for optimum performance. The whole package will safely enhance your automobile's apperance while significantly improving its handling and ride quality.

Price they listed is from $789.99-1599.95 for 3 series, 5 series, Z3 and MINI.

That's all I know so far. I heard Sachs have been make suspension for Ferrari and race teams, so I'm definitely interested to find out more about it.

I used Sach dampers on my 1981 Ford fiesta. Great damping qualities

Sachs has had kits available for watercooled VWs for some time now. Most of the reviews indicate the kit provides a refined, sporting feel to the suspension (a big need in most modern VWs). I don't think they've ever been big sellers because their kits don't provide the "slammed in the weeds" stance that most people seem to want these days.

That being said, I'm interested in hearing more.

Here's a link to Bavarian Autosport:

You'll need to key in your model and year, but I tried both a 2002 Cooper, then a 2005 S and the same part number came up, so go figure! It's $789.95.

My tuner here has been selling the Sachs suspension kit for quite sometime. He also has the Kelleners suspension kits too. However, I opted for the PSS9s though.

I also saw this in their latest ad and am also interested. Height adjustable and also adjustable damping.

So, who's going to be first

Reviving this super old thread.

Does anyone here know or know where to find the spring rates for the Sachs coilover system for the R53? I can't seem to find the info online and am reaching out hear before contacting the company directly.

Thanks

I dont see an R53 version Just an R53 JCW GP version, R55-R59 and F55-F57. They have it for the GP but they note it not listed for the others, i can talk to them about it but i believe that's what car they ran it on in the "ring"
