Transform the handling and look of your BMW MINI Gen 1 supercharged hatch with a height-adjustable suspension kit tailored for the R53 platform. This premium damper and spring package delivers precise control, a purposeful drop, and everyday comfort for road use, fast-road driving, and weekend track sessions.
