Has anyone heard any news on when Bilstein may have struts or PSS-9 coilovers for the MINI?

No, but Koni is supposed to be bringing out their Sports (yellows).

We went to a Bilstein factory tour of their "performance center" in the northern part of San Diego (we're with the L.A. chapter of BMW CCA, but were were visting the Sandy Eggo BMW CCA folks) a few months ago and I spoke with a couple of people there and got the impression that they were really interested in the new MINIs, but that all big decisions were made in Germany and through what sounded like a less-than-speedy beauracratic process. Basically, I got the impression that it would not be a top-priorty project, but one they would get to ("Round Tuit, where are you?&quot.

Needless to say, though I graciously offered our MINI Cooper S as a test vehicle if they would like to spring some PSS coilovers on us (pardon the pun)... they didn't take up the offer
