    :cornut: NICE R56 MINI. (If you're a new comer) Welcome to MA. From your post it sounds as though you've caught the highly contagious 'mod addiction.' Please do drive you MINI for a while prior to modding. Remember that the fist and best 'bang for the buck' suspension mod is to get rid of the(heavy) run flats and light weight?(24lbs each) factory wheels. With non run flat tires and after market QUALITY( 14-16lbs each)wheels, you'll have dropped 55-70lbs of unsprung weight which tightens up the suspension a significant amount, decreases braking distance, and shortens acceleration time. After that the other stuff is only needed for eye candy, bragging rights, and racing.:Thumbsup:
