Then it's time for me to get my hands dirty and fit the new uprated brakes and suspension. A big thanks to for helping source the suspension parts for the .

Don't forget to let us have your concerns about vehicle established and we will attempt and address them later on in the series.

    Every day is a school day when it is car maintenance for me. I am a huge petrol head but mechanics and fixing is not my thing I guess my Dad was the same so he passed nothing onto me so anything I know which is very little is self taught. Interesting content and I am looking forward to more.

    A few very important items needed whilst upgrading the r53 suspension. Adjustable top mounts a must. along with front lower arm poly bushings r50 front rollbar with poly bushings standard drop links work best. Roll centre inserts sized to wheel diameter a must. for the rear poly bushings for the rollbar and poly rear arm inserts along with bottom adjustable tie rod arms top arms left standard this will give you a lot of scope to enable a set up to your liking.

    Hi, can you explain what are the main difference between the Bilsteins and OEM suspension? Also, do the springs make a difference e.g. is a larger diameter better than a narrow diameter?

    Interesting that you choose the Bilstein dampers. In the German Mini Community you will not find many that favour this combination. I’m looking forward to the driving experience that will be reported. Does the brake manufacturer deliver all needed certificates to get the car – brake combination officially approved? To optimize a car in Germany without losing its legal status is pretty difficult and I’m looking to find a brake that can be officially approved without mayor investigations and tests.

    Hi Pete. Great to see more Mini content! Question – what are the calipers? JCW?

      They look like the budweg calipers. Very similar to the jcw ones 🙂

    Bilstein are a top product.
    The fun on the rear is the arms were threaded with the bolt ( its a strange looking thing ) so you may need to nut-sert the holes before putting back together.

    Great watch as usual Peter. Darren said on Saturday it was a fun day doing the filming. The rest of the plans for the car sound to notch too.

    I had the bilsteins on my mulgari clubby which reviewed last year and you know how good the set up was on that 🤔😏😉

    So you did _most_ of the work then, Pete? Looking forward to the suspension setup , really interested in that. Those brakes would stop a 747 at full chat!

    Hi, how much unsprung weight did the bigger brakes add to the car and will the end setup account for this?
