KW V3 is a very nice possibility. Don't go for the clubsports, they kill your back.

Great car, this is just about the only Mini I'd trade my GP in on :)

Tito, if you're looking for comfort you should keep 17" (maybe some other wheels) and put non-RF tires on it.

And coilovers are more comfortable than lowering springs, especially a brand as KW.
Bilstein is known to be stiffer, because they're more performance-orientated.

Honestly, I'd put BBS CS or Sparco Assetto on there..
Well i'm not looking exclusively on confort, but i wouldn't compromise it too much putting on some coilovers.
Which kind of KW would you orienting me on? My uncle sells spare parts exc, i could have a very nice price; so should i sell my eibach? or could i keep it with KW coilovers?
I was wondering if putting on a KW's air filter and a a Forge resonator delete hose too (but i don't know it very well pro and con about it).

The springs wont fit on the coils. KW's (V2 or V3) come with their own. You should really try coilovers on the MINI, I'm sure you will be pleased.

A K&N air filter? You have to be carefull with what you do in terms of air intake. With the MINI, it's in the back of the engine bay and may very easily catch warm/hot air instead of cold air.

Well not a K&N cone filter..but the one you can fit in the original filter box.
What could you tell me about the forge resonator?
Which KW's coilover would you sggest me?

Resonator-delete is something some people do, but not that much. I'd do one if I had a R56S (fJCW). :)

I've already pointed you towards the KW V3's, so I'll stick to that :P

Let me put it this way:

I have V1's, they will be replaced by V3's. I've had a drive in a R53 with the V3's and was sold. The V1's will be put on my girls' car as her (standard) coilovers are getting old. :)

You can change a bunch of settings on the V3. Bound, rebound, height, ... so you can set it to be exactly what you need.

You won't regret it, neither will your back!

Hello Italy,

Can I have your votes please...10/10 thanks!

Great car(s) and welcome to the forum.

I have under my two mini's 'Bilstein B16' and i'am very pleased with it.
Its a little bit harder, but not uncomfortable. Great rides.

Like the mods you are doing!

Greetings,
Chris
