So I emailed BC Racing asking for coilovers for the XB2. They said they were in the final phases of testing and should be out soon. Looks like we will have another option

 

Nice... I have these on my Mini Cooper...

 

so what other options are out there for coilovers?
all i know is Tein, Ksport, and RS-R

 

How do you like them? I'm planning on picking up a set for an S14 for my Q45... Just haven't read a whole lot about them.

 

from what I know, the companies that have coil-overs for '08+ xB's are Tein, RS-R, Ksport and I think D2??? I'm would love for a set of Stance coil-overs

 

i love bc racing coils i had em in my miata. funny they told you that, they tried to sell me 08+ corolla coilovers and told me that they would fit the xb, which they don't so ask them if they can send you pictures and make sure its not a 4 strut set up.

 

Love them... I had a set of KW variant 3s on my Mini before and actually swapped them out after talking to a suspension Guru about the BCs. The KWs were nice, but I think something was wrong with mine. Rather than mucking around with them, I bought the less expensive BCs for $1K and never looked back. ABSOLUTELY no complaints.

When using these BC coilovers MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THEM RIGHT and set the PRELOAD correctly. With these type of coilovers, you can raise the car up and down without changing the preload.


Here's a long ongoing thread about them here in the Mini world...

And here's a recent review...

anybody heard of STD coilovers... i read somewhere on a forum that they make it for our car but when i checked their site it didnt say much.

 

well i email std suspension and they said they have in stock R1 Suspension system for the 08+ xB for $1196 1 year warranty.. not a bad price but havent heard how good they are compared to other top brands
