Eibach releases new Pro-Street S kit for Mini R58/R59 Coupe and Roadster

Although both models are still very recent additions to BMW’s showroom line-up, leading suspension house Eibach has just released details of its latest Pro Street S coilover upgrade for both the R58 and R59 variants of the latest Mini. Fabricated entirely by the company’s in-house German motorsport division, this kit offers competition quality, with road car manners – and is suitable for the Coupe and Roadster.

Two distinct kits have been created to cater for the differing engine options - and therefore axle weights - available on the car. Easy set-up and adjustment has been designed into the units from the outset and the adjustable spring seat can be easily wound up or down in order to achieve the perfect stance - or corner weighting, before being easily locked off with a stainless allen bolt. Eibach actually uses the hugely respected ERS range of race springs on the Pro-Street units, which goes a long way towards explaining their race pedigree. Although not designed as a race-spec unit, there are numerous club-level competitors who have used the previous generation kit them to great effect in club motorsport. To that end, the units can also accept any springs from Eibach’s ERS range, allowing rates and free lengths to be adjusted to owner’s preference, if required.

This latest kit, designed specifically for the car, uses the latest materials and construction techniques to give either Mini a wide range of ride-height adjustment, while still retaining a fantastic ride quality. As the name suggests, Pro-Street S units are designed with road-use in mind, although thanks to their stainless steel construction, precision damper units and unparalleled build quality, they will also be a pretty effective upgrade on track, too.

Ride height can be adjusted from anywhere between -25mm and -50mm, offering a truly aggressive stance if required, or a more subtle drop if preferred. Damper rates are computer matched with the springs at the Eibach factory, making the Pro-Street S kit a true ‘fit and forget’ proposition once the desired ride-height has been set.
