Fairly big update... the KW Coilovers arrived today!! 
V1 (Inox)
Unboxed a front strut and they seem to have replicated the indent from the OEM suspension which should hopefully mean I can get my 18x8 ET45 wheels on without a spacer (they currently fit fine on the OEM set up)
Indent on the KW's:
Indent on the OEM's:
Fitting will be taking place a week today (8th Oct) complete will a full Hunter laser alignment to get the car set up properly
Cant wait!!
No luck for me, they are coming on 1st October now!!
I can't wait
Can this be ordered from the parts department at the dealers?
I called my local dealer (in the UK) and they told me it was not available until November for customers who already have cars?
Obviously it is available now for new cars being ordered (as per the Configurator)
Confusing!! 
They are as confortable as my Girlfriend's R56 Mini with her OEM suspension
Honnestly very good, just maybe the rear as a tendency to bounce a little bit, but my lowering is "deep"
Some Good pictures after a washing this evening
:
How low have you gone? In terms of 'mm'?
How many threads are left on the KW's, or have you gone as low as they allow?
What is the racing pre silencer?
Does that make it even louder?? 
the jcw kit is 500€ more expensive that the remus without installing. (without tips)
An MINI will pay you a lot for the instalation.
Yeh, MINI will charge a fortune for installation! 
The Remus is 1510 euro with carbon tips and the JCW kit is listed at 1838 euro with carbon tips (as per this forum) so 328 euro more than the Remus, but for that you will also get full MINI warranty, the ECU tune and maybe an air filter?
I like the Remus though, it sounds great and is perfect for those who want to go with a tune from another company!
Alles anzeigenThanks !
no i think it doesn't fit with 205-40
Do you have news about the Jcw exaust ? i hope we can have it alone not with "kit"
I guess that the warranty will be stop by MINI if i put a REMUS ? the new Remus for F56 looks good
thats a shame - amazing how 10mm makes such a difference!
I don't think the JCW exhuast will be available separately but compared to the Remus it makes sense to go for the JCW tuning kit as they are about the same price and the JCW package adds power with a tune too!
Thanks for the info!!
The car looks great!! Its a shame the TD's do not work, maybe they would with 205/40 tyres?? I have 205/40 Michelin Pilot Super Sport on my Speedlines and the tyre is not too stretched
if if you have about 10mm with the OEM rims, then that should mean about 6mm clearance with ET45
Alles anzeigen20mm clearance with the TD Imola 8x18 ET35
i use Michelin SuperSport 215-40/18, 215 because i would like to have a tyre protector for the wheels, and keep confort compared to 35.
The rears are hard to adjust because :
The left you have not enough place but you can do it but be patient ! lol
and for the right you need to disassemble a plastic pieces to have access
It's not difficult but need to remove the wheels it's easier for the lowering.
for ascend the rear you can do it with the spring on the car but only to the half of the ring after it become harder and it's easier to do without the spring.
But if it's for a lowering you can do it with the springs easely.
How much clearance do you have with the OEM wheels?
18x8 ET 45 sits nearly 4mm closer to the strut than the OEM rims, so if there is not at least 5mm space with your current set up, maybe a spacer will be still needed??
Looks awesome!!!!
So with your OEM wheels you have 20mm clearance against the front coilover?
Thats great news, my Speedline wheels are 18x8 et45, which sit 3.7mm closer to the strut compared to the OEM wheels, so this is good news for me, as I thought I would need to get a spacer!
What tyre size did you go with for your Team Dynamic wheels? I have 205/40 18 on my Speedlines (same as OEM 18's)
Your car looks great!
How hard is the rear to adjust? Can it be done on the car, or do you need to remove the rear spring?
