R55 Coil-over Recommendations

Coil-over Recommendations
Hey All,
Looking for recommendations for coil-overs for a 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman. I've read that doing so will add negative camber to the rear, so getting the rear control arm that is adjustable is recommended and of course, getting an alignment. Is there any other concerns such as tires rubbing or any other things I should be considering here? I will be running 16X7 wheels (42mm offset) in the summer on 195/55R/16 tires. Stock tires with recommended size rubber in the winter, which I understand may require wheel offset spacers in order to make it look flush
Currently I'm interested in getting the KW Variant 1 Coil-Over, but am open to any other coil-overs that are going to offer a nice ride.

Thank you in advance!

I would recommend checking out our custom KW V2 and V3s as they ride well, but not harsh. And will by far out perform the off the shelf KW. This is what we run on our WMW R55 which I drive daily.

With any coilover you will have to test fit your wheels after you install the first front shock to figure out if you will need a spacer or not. some do and some don't but no magical formula for it.
And for rear adj control arms check out our Hsport links as they work great.
