New Proud Cooper S Owner

Been reading these forums for some time and finally got my mini yesterday. Picked her up yesterday. Needs a few things done before I get down to anything dirty but plan on doing some cheap blacking out of the chrome light rings, side markers, beltline, gascap, side mirrors etc.

Needs new suspension though so I might as well put something good on there. Any suggestions on that front?

Anyways, glad to finally be in a Mini.

Let me know what you think

Nice looking MINI! Sounds like you have some good "first" mods planned.
I can be of no help to you on the suspension, but suggest you go to the 1st Generation MINI section, suspension and either read some threads or ask your question there.

Welcome to NAM and enjoy!!

Nice car!
I would recommend a Koni Sport Suspension System (Yellows).
Spring rate is great.
Lowers the car a little, nothing excessive.
Shocks are adjustable.
Great ride.
