Nice set of Coilovers
2 of 3 found this helpful MINI:
2010 Cooper S Clubman with JCW Tuning Kit
49k miles
NON daily driver
I drive it on nice days
Spirited mountain NC runs
NOT a track car
Performance upgrades:
JCW tune
JCW CAI with Amsoil dry filter
Alta turbo inlet pipe (hard pipe)
Alta hot side boost tube
Remus Axel Back exhaust
Suspension setup:
Megan Euro 2 Coilovers (Teal and black)
Hotchkis 19mm rear sway bar
Hotchkis Adjustable Control arms (rear)
Way Motor Works adjustable front end links
EBC Red stuff brake pads on OEM Cooper S calipers
Drill slotted rotors (way motor works)
Quality:
Seems to be good, no issues, packed well for transport.
Fitment:
Perfect fit
Un bolt existing coil/struts, bolt in new!
Adjustability:
32 levels of damping
I am currently set at 5, a low setting for now to keep a decent ride quality.
Fronts are easy to adjust ride height and camber.
Rears are tougher due to the tight area and the trailing arm in the way (almost easier to remove the coil, adjust put back) this would go for ANY coil.
Alignment:
MINI was able to easily get me back to a straight setup
I didn't want excessive camber
Less tire wear, maybe a sacrifice in handling, but sticks like glue.
All is now well within spec for the car and ride height.
Installation:
On a scale of 1-10 (1 easiest, 10 hardest)
This was like a 2 or 3, very easy (having the right tools makes it easy)
NO spring compressors, NO impact guns
Coilover install:
Go to minicooperspeed and you cannot go wrong
NO spring compressor needed for these Coilovers. So take off the existing coils and replace with the Megan's,
Review:
Quality: good
Noise: very quiet, no clunking, grinding or bottoming out.
Lowered: 1.2" front, 1" rear
Installation: VERY easy
Ride quality:
HWY: seems to be better and smooth on the highway. Not bouncy. You will know it when you hit a big bump. But it's not a harsh ride at all. Very comfortable. Driven at least 6 hrs of hwy driving and it rode nicely.
Mountains:
Just did Blue Ridge Parkway, Hwy 80 Devils Whip, Little Switzerland
The car handled like a BEAST! So much more responsive and connected to the road.
I had NO bottoming out, rattling, just smooth as glass. It's like a new car and handles differently...in a good way.
Overall:
The car looks amazing sitting a little lower, handles and performs better.
I could have spent a lot more money on a set of Coilovers, but for the amount of driving I do and the type, I couldn't see putting much more into it. I'm happy with it, it made sense for me and I didn't have to break the bank.
I would recommend these, but understand that everyone's driving habits are different.
I cannot compare them to others because I have not had them on my car. All I can say is I like my choice, works for me and I'm happy.
I chose these due to an affordable price, relatively good reviews and ease of installation
