Details

The KW Variant 2 has proven to be one of the best mid priced coilovers available for most MINI Models (see chart below). They are a great value and offer adjustable rebound dampening. They are well worth considering on your short list for mid priced coilovers when its time to replace or upgrade worn out suspension on your MINI. The rebound adjustment can be installed via an adjustment spindle at the piston rod end, as far as it is vehicle-specifically possible. The rebound damping primarily controls pitch and roll of the vehicle, especially in the low speed damping range which directly influences handling and comfort. Therefore vehicle can be adjusted to the needs of the driver, making the ride variable from comfortable to sporty and stiff, both with improved road handling. This system intended for the experienced driver who does not only wish to determine the individual lowering of his vehicle, but also wishes to carry out setup adjustments. The adjustable rebound damper allows adjusting the pitch and roll behavior of the vehicle and therefore the driving pleasure can be adapted to the own requirements.
* Damping technology with individually adjustable rebound

* Individually height adjustable
* Adjustment parameters approved by the German Technical Control Board (TÜV) * Fully finished complete solution

Customers' comments

Fit and finish were perfect. Mounted right up, and looks great.

Guy

Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.

Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.

The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.

The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.

This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

*plasti-cote is your new best friend*
