Question:
I have a 2005 MINI Cooper S, it’s in very good shape, but not sure if shocks need replacing. I have 70k miles on it. What would I need if I were to want to replace all of the shocks with a reasonable price set of high-performance ones?
Answer:
A very popular performance replacement strut is the Koni RED (special active) Struts - we sell the set on the site as part number NMS3059
