I got a 2006 mini , I look for coilover kit, what is the best between v-maxx and fk street-line, I want to be low but keep little bit of comfort...its a street use only and I look for rear adjustable control arms and adjustable camber plates, what I need if I want to be very low and adjust the camber to fit my 16x9 wheels.. thanks! sorry for my bad english, im a francophone ahah
V-Maxx are junk unless you like replacing your coil overs. I would also stay away from Megans and now CROSS since they went out of business. Get a set of KW V2 from WMW and add a set of Swift springs and you will have the best of both worlds. (lower and nice ride) KW Variant 2 Coilovers R50,52,53 - Way Motor Works Another option is the Bilsteins Bilstein PSS9 R50 R52 R53 Coilovers - Way Motor Works After that you are looking at JRZ's with Swift springs but they are more for the tack
Well then I would not buy any and just save up because cheap coil over kits don't last and I would hate to see you flush $1,500 down the drain. Just being honest.
If you really want coil overs, do what Dave suggested and save up for a quality set. In the mean time, you can always keep an eye out for a used set to pop up.
If its just for the street or a occasional AutoX or track day. maybe just some springs and good struts would be a better choice. I have Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set and Koni Sport Strut - 3 way adjustable. I've been very pleased with them. The springs lowered the Mini 1.2in.
Thanks for answers.. and does I need adjustable control arm or something to be able to adjust the camber?
I do not have them although I do plan on one day getting them. If you do what I did I don't think it's a must but it would be better to have them.
If you go low you will need adjustable rear lower control arms and front adjustable camber plates. It would also not hurt to get (4) adjustable end links to get the anti sway bars back in the correct location and take out any preload when you lower your car. After all this is done and you set the ride height to a level you like THEN get a full 4 wheel alignment. You could skip all of the above if you don't mind burning up tires and replacing them very often. :rolleyes5::lol:
