Eden. Something else for you to think about.

The mini has an issue with coilovers and thier intergreation with the current suspension system.

In my opinion there is not enough suspension travel with coilovers, this leads to traction issues.

You could incline the coilovers inwards to improve this issue. This would mean you would need much higher poundage springs.

This may not be entirely factual but its my thought on the issue of coilovers and my experience with them.

Although i have not tried coilovers that are mounted as ive stated. Just an idea.

ive got the red dot donuts and they pretty good, just dont make the mistake of cranking the shocks up to hard, otherwise it'll be like a pogo stick

I'll try yellow at the front next year as well on my racecar. Not adviced to do on road going cars though...

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.
