Having had a Mini Cooper S since November I now find that my Zed feels a little bouncy and wish to stiffen her up a bit. Have purchased some new rear shocks but as I have to fit them I may as well upgrade the springs. Have seen a few advertised (Eibach/tein) but can't make up my mind what to go for. Not keen on lowering her too much so any suggestions welcome.

Eibach by far the most common fitment, stiffer than stock, but with good ride quality as they are progressive. They only lower by about 0.8" too, so no worries with speed humps.

 

New shocks and Eibachs will have a postitively dramatic affect on a 15yr old zed's handling and ride ! :)

Poly bush the whole suspension and you will be able to keep the original springs and make it a lot stiffer while improving handling.

Cheers guys. Think I might just go the whole hog with eibachs and poly bushes.
