Absolutely nothing wrong with them, no knocking, creaking, bearing noises. I encourage a test drive to clear any doubt of their condition. I am only selling to upgrade to fully adjustable coilovers for my new wheel/tyre set up.

Set up consists of:
- Adjustable Koni Yellow shocks - custom valved for 20% more compression than standard Koni Yellows
- Custom made coil springs:
Front: 30% higher spring rate than OEM M-Sport
Rear: 40% higher spring rate than OEM M-Sport
- OEM front strut mounts

Suspension is still in the car available for test drives for prospective buyers. Will remove once I have a deposit/sale.

I'm open to offers at this stage to gauge interest. They cost the original owner of my car over $2000.

Thanks

very similar setup to my swift spec r / koni setup assuming these are linear springs its almost identical. have you got the rear shocks which can be adjusted without removing them from the car,?

A very good (I dare say perfect) daily setup would highly recommend it couldn't be happier with mine!

GLWS whoever buys this won't be disappointed

I think you should just install camber plates. Will increase the ride height and the camber will give you more clearance to the fender. Not to mention the upgrade in handling and turn in response.

To hijack briefly, what direction is the turn to get to full soft? My adjuster is packed away and I need to get my fronts on my Mini to full soft for the track.

So, to confirm - new springs or a strut spacer is the only way to increase the front ride height?
