This unique set-up allows between -2.5 to -3.0 degrees of negative camber up front! - The Cross Coilover uses Linear springs which are better suited for performance / track use - better predictability and more precise handling. - Due to their unique adjustable lower bracket design, adjusting ride height DOES NOT compromise spring rate. - The Cross Coilover's carry a 1 year Limited Warranty, EVEN IF YOU TRACK YOUR MINI! Most other warranties are void when you track their products - not with Cross! - Cross Coilover's can be special ordered with different spring rates depending on your needs, from performance street to full track set-up. The Competition Series is Cross Suspension's top of the line Cross coilover system. It features a lightweight design with a 15 way dampening adjustable monotube damper. With its high strength and durability, the Competition Series insures that it will last through any type of driving condition. The front damper features an inverted 40 mm piston and the rear has either a 45mm non-inverted piston. The ride height adjustability is independent from the spring perch so adjusting ride height does not compromise the spring rate or rebound and compression of the damper. All coilover systems come with a cool bend linear spring that offer precision steering and handling. Spring rates are also custom tailored to the MINI. All Competition Series coilovers include adjustable front camber plates with pillow ball upper mounts. Based off of racing technology, the Competition Series Coilover is a street performance suspension, customizable for full track use. Fits 2002-2006 MINI Cooper and Cooper S.
