Pepper White 06 R53

Sup guys, I bought my first Mini in October. I opted for a R53 based on the reviews I read, the hard part was getting it at the right price since lots of owners price them pretty high. I found an 06 pepper white with 82K miles, the car was well maintained but needed a good detail and tires. I had the clear bra removed, apparently was on since new along with the stripes. Along with needing tires it is in need of struts, I thought about just getting koni yellow and call it a day but I wanted more. I researched lots of companies then stumbled across Flatout Suspension, a California based brand that valve the suspension specific to your needs and offers a 5 year warranty with a much faster turnaround since I live here in California. I also ordered H-sport rear sway bar & camber arms, powerflex control arm bushings,front sway bar bushings and ball joints from WMW. Last thing I ordered was the TWM performance short shifter and ****. I will provide a review once I install the Flatout coilovers.

Welcome to NAM! Good year for the R53 and looks like a very clean purchase with some low miles. Good choice on the adjustable rear control arms. If you need anything be sure to let me know and looking forward to seeing what you do with her next!
