Suspension Brakes Most liked posts in thread: Koni Shocks and NM Springs??

Hope you don't mind, I adjusted the title to more accurately reflect the question. At least I think it does.

When switching to shock such as a Koni from OE all 4 should be done at the same time. A mix of both a performance shock and OEM will make for some wonky handling.

 

My 09 JCW has NM springs and KONI Yellows. I consider the combination outstanding.

 

The Koni Yellows are a great combo to put the the NM springs, and if you want more performance you can adjust them stiffer.

 

I have that combo and I love it!

 

For daily driving I personally set the shocks to the softest setting. IMO you should always align the car after changing anything suspension related.

 

Swift springs for the win!

 

Can Swift springs be matched with Koni yellows for 2nd Gen yet?

 

Checking.

 

Yes the Swift Springs are available for the second generation Minis in the OEM size!!

 

Thanks....
I'm still in class...
When I get home I'll need to check it out....

Liked my TSW springs but love the Swifts, better in every way!!!

 

I love my TSW's so tell me some specifics about the difference Swifts make....please and thank you!

 

You don't ride the bump stops, corners flatter but still turns great due to the higher rate in the rear, doesnt dive on heavy braking and recovers from an event much quicker...etc... I find them better in everyway.

 

Thanks for that...having just run Thunderhill III I may have to look at these when I get new shocks. I must say, however, my coach commented on how flat my MINI handled with the TSW's and 19mm sway bar. Better is always good. Thanks again....

 

....go back with Swift Springs and take him for a ride!:yesnod:

 

Mark, the ones you bought were the Spec-R?

 

Swift only makes one lowering spring for the Mini and its the Spec R.
Sure cuts down on the decision making process!
Mine will get installed this SPRING!!!!

 

Wasn't sure when Jan sent them but, yep Spec R wind!!!
