I'm stupid. I didn't see the right link to order my ST coilovers for an MCS. Instead, I ordered the ones for a justa. I've got calls into ST to ask what the differences are, but thought I'd ask your opinions here.

Every other coilover I've seen show that they work for S and non S R56 coopers. Am I correct in saying that the mount points, etc... are the exact same?

I'm thinking that the differences between the two kits is either a. the valving or b. the spring rates.

My choices here is to ship back what I have an get the right kit or use the one that I have.

Your thoughts?

 

You'll probably need to call to get a return okay anyway, so you can ask them then if the two sets are identical. They're usually different if they have different parts numbers, and I'd think that the two sets would be different in the ways you mentioned.

Assuming that's the case, I'd certainly get the right ones for my car.

 

Definitely take the extra time to get the right ones if there is any difference.

 

The only thing I can image could possibly be different is the location of the brakes lines and sensors. Otherwise mounting, spring rates and valving should all be the same.

 

Thanks for your business Bao. The R56 and R56 S are two DIFFERENT kits. Glad we could get you setup to get the correct kit.

 

You guys ROCK! I just wanted to give a shout out to the Suspension Source. I was stupid and ordered the wrong part but they were SOOOOO very helpful to get my questions answered and helping me out with the shipping. They set me up with some great rates on shipping for the return and they are going to ship out the right parts to me!

By the way, I've sent payment for the shipping charges

 

Processing the return tag now!
