FORGE coilover kit for Mini F56

Description

The FORGE Motorsport coilover kit is developed for fast road and track driving and balances performance and comfort. The damping has 32 levels of adjustment, which change bump and rebound at the same time. This lets you set up the kit for either track or street driving.

The kit offers two-stage lowering. In the first stage you adjust the length of the shock body, so you do not need to shorten the spring to lower the car. The spring stays at its optimum length and shock travel is not reduced, so ride quality is maintained. In the second stage you adjust the spring perch, just like on a normal coilover. The shorter the spring, the lower the car.

On the Mini F56 we recommend lowering by up to 50 mm front and rear. The lower centre of gravity helps on track without making the ride overly hard.

Warning

If you adjust both the shock length and the spring perch, you can lower the car very far below stock height. A regular road car run this low needs supporting modifications, such as fully adjustable control arms and possibly chassis modifications, so that camber, caster and toe stay as close to factory settings as possible. We only recommend this for show purposes.
