So I am the type to do all suspension first before I ever touch the motor. I haven't quite decided if that will be the strategy with my R53, but I am leaning that way still.

The more commercial "Coilovers," (H&R and Tein) are not really what I would call a coilover, but more a spring and strut combo.

I found the "Cross Coilovers," and they seem a lot nicer than either of the previous options.

now that these cars have been out a while as well as aftermarket support, does anyone have any stories good or bad with their coilovers or recommendations on a good coilover I can drive on daily, but still track? I would like fully adjustable, and am not too concerned with a brand name as long as they come with a realistic warranty.

From there I will move into other bits, one of which being the "Alta Positive Steering System," If you have any experience with that please chime in as well.

Thank you. I did do a search on some of this, but I thought I would revisit this with more specific questions.

Thanks.

Ive heard good reviews from the 'Miester R' coilovers, if you want to track as well have a look at KW V1 or V2 too.

Im running on APs, really impressed with them but i was more concerned about drop and price and these give the biggest drop and were a good £2/300 less then the KWs.

You have a Mini/BMW so why not go with a German coil over? I previously used KW version 2's. And I know they were very popular with tuners and racers. Quality German product.
