I have not personally, but they do service/sell a lot of MINIsTue, 09 Jun 2026 12:34:37 +0000What are your goals from the suspension. Are you looking to just change the stance of the clubby (lower) or improve the handling. What type of driving are you doing with the car, only fun twisties and weekend drives or is it your communter? Asking bcause this kind of defines what upgrades yyou would be looking for. Same kind of questions for exhaust are you looking to change the sound (louder, etc...) or are you looking to have less restrictive flow to increase performance? Do you currently have any upgrades? - current tires - brakes (pads / rotors) - any pre engine air flow improvements (intake, intercoolers, piping)Tue, 09 Jun 2026 12:31:04 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:48:09 +0000I will set it up for you later tonight.
