I want coil overs, but i don't have a huge budget, so i found some KONI coil overs for much cheaper ($850) than H&R. Has anyone here had experience with KONI coil overs? Would it be worth it to save the money and get KONI, or is H&R worth every penny? I located them at livermoreperformance.com .

i'll be matching them with some lightweight 16X7 wheels & kumho 712 tires, and that is probably all i will do to my Mini S..

(also, does anyone know how to edit their profile on this board?)
Honestly....

I wouldn't go with a coil over suspension unless you have money to blow OR you plan on tracking your car.

Get some H-sport lowering springs, get there rear sway bar, and then maybe get some koni SA's...

You'll get much better handling at a fraction of the cost.
