Mini Cooper Lowering Springs // Best Springs Install
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2022
- These are the perfect lowering springs for your Mini Cooper F56 and here's why. To start, the drop in terms of the amount these springs will lower the ride height of your Mini Cooper, is the perfect amount. 25mm (1 inch) lower than factory in the rear and 30mm (1 inch and 1/4) lower than factory ride height in the front.

What makes these lowering springs the best lowering springs for your Mini Cooper is not just the ride height, but the quality of the springs themselves, and the quality of the ride. I feel like these lowering springs made the ride feel smoother, oddly enough. 🍻
The worst part about getting lowering springs is installing them on you Mini Cooper, only to find out that you lowered it way too much and the ride sucks. Don't be that person. Unless you're not looking for the best lowering springs, then just do what you feel is better for your tastes and styles. 🤷🏽♂️
But in my opinion - these have to be the best Mini Cooper lowering springs on the market if you're really looking to take your aesthetics and ride quality to the next level. Lowering your center of gravity is pretty nice too. 😅

Finally someone who used Dewalt tools!!! Nice!😊
@@thegreek5672 right?! I love them, too. My dad raised me on Dewalt. 👊🏼🤘🏼
Hey I have the same setup on my cooper s f56. I also have a nm sway bar 22mm. I noticed squeaking noise in the rear suspension going over bumps. Did you noticed that with the springs? Did you cut the bump stops ?
How do you pull the DDC connector from the top of the strut? Afraid of breaking something. Thanks.
Off topic. I read on the MINI forums folk disliking the centre armrest and removing it, my 1 previous owner JCW came without an armrest so I fitted one myself.
I only mention this because you, like me, obviously love it and find it very useful without even thinking about it. Thanks for the upload.👌
Hi, I have lowered my JCW F57 also with H&R springs but I have lots of cracking noise. Everything has been checked but still lots of cracking. Any idea where is come from?
One thing I noticed was that you have the EDC if I’m not mistaken. I really wish you would have detailed the removal of the front strut top hats from the strut assembly because I’ve read that if it is done incorrectly, you can break the electronic damper. I have a rebuild kit for the front damper and I’m itching to install the new boots and gaskets and re-grease the top hat bearings but I also don’t want to destroy the electronic dampers. Any tips? I’m running the NM engineering springs that drop 1.25” on all 4 corners. Nice job btw. You should bring the Mini out to the U.P. for the world record attempt next year on the Mackinac bridge and also check out running The Tail of the Dragon next fall!
You know, I wanted to add it into the video, but I battle with this. The challenge is, I like watching the details, but sadly, those videos don't perform well on UA-cam and they hurt my analytics.
This socket is a must amzn.to/3U2wVnr , so long is you relieve the tension from the springs and you use the proper torque specs you'll be fine.
Also, make sure when you are tightening down the nut to the sensor, make sure the shaft is in the right position for the wire.
It would be cool to take the Mini up there for the world record attempt. 😍🤘🏼
Did you have to cut the bumpstops? Seen some videos where they cut the bumpstops.
Did you adjust the bump stops at all?
hows the ride comfort? any change from stock?
Are you looking to upgrade the wheels and tires soon? I'd live to see some 225/45r17's or 235/40r17's on a 17x8!
Yes 😬 new wheels and tires video will be coming out real soon. 🙂🤘🏼
a coilover set would have improved the handling but i get it to not want your car super low and stiff good stuff man
I agree with you. I would've noticed a difference in the coilovers for many reasons, but I don't want it to be that low. 😅
I'm working with a brand now on potentially installing their coilovers at some point, and theirs are the same amount of drop as these springs are.
@@MichaelBertini umm. What? Any good coilovers are adjustable in height including the JCW pro suspension lmfaooo. Takes 3 mins of research to learn this.
Great vid! How do you know how far to push the strut back into the hub/knuckle?
This is the same question I had too. There's a pin on the back side which goes into a slot on the back. Then you push the strut down into the knuckle as far as it can go and it should be protruding from the bottom.
@@MichaelBertini so the pin doesn’t push up against the knuckle/hub clamp but slides down through the gap in the knuckle? Probs best to photograph and measure beforehand?
@@C22RLD correct. I would measure and take pictures beforehand. I typically do this with everything I touch anyways, even if I have the service manuals. I'm a little "over the top" like that sometimes.
How come you didn’t go with the MMR lowering springs? Do you know if they are any good?
I didn't realize they had springs when I purchased the H&R springs.
I have them but I’m changing to H&R as I don’t like the lower front vs back look on the MMR
@@techpulseYT that's good to know. thanks for the insight 👊🏼
Thanks for torque specs!
@@Oplix you’re welcome 🙃👊🏼
"what is up bertinin fam"... hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa jeeeeeeezzuuuzzzzz
Do you buy these parts or are you sponsored?
Nice
Thanks, King! 🤘🏼
Is confort now?? More hard??
Nothing noticeable, but I'm assuming it would be since it's a reduced spring rate. But I really didn't notice it being any stiffer.
feel comfortable putting 18 wheels on her?
Where are they man?
Where is who? 😆
Did you have to trim the rear bump stops?
I would also like to know that. In their official documentation it says you don't need to. But in some other videos people do cut it.
@matebajusz4199 I'm installing my H&R springs Saturday. I'm gonna trim mine as I've also gotten new struts so I have ti drop the rears anyhow at that point
You know what, I just received mine today. In the original packaging, there is an extra bumpstop. I didn’t compare it with the OEM one, but I assume it’s probably smaller.
@@matebajusz4199 mine did NOT come with a bumpstop from H&R , I am a bit perturbed
@@homelesszaya.6548 do you also have f56 jcw? did you order 28813-1? Anyway the effect should be the same, don’t worry.
Would’ve been awesome to see it. That wide angle shot wasn’t cutting it.
Are you in Florida, by chance?
@@MichaelBertini no i wish.
@@Rogue.Rider0 Oh 😔I was going to say to come see it at the Mini meet-ups we do monthly. Look into the MMR Performance springs, I'm considering going over to those.
Clean up the brake calipers next time you have the wheels off...
Great minds think alike. I did exactly this in an upcoming video. It's worth taking the time to do. Thanks for the advice, though. 🙂🤘🏼
Guy spends the first 1/3 of the video talking about the springs and even weighing them. When it comes to the actual install? Radio silence. You wasted 6 mins of my time. I certainly hope UA-cam doesn't monetize these types of videos.
