Awesome set, works great
Works great, way easier than having to just replace the struts and rebuild.
★★★★★February 22, 2024
Works as intended
Easy install and works as it should even after a couple of weeks of driving
★★★★★February 27, 2023
Easy install, but be careful of torque spec.
Products arrive great, and I followed your video to replace just fine however in the process, I broke something else. Driver side went in fine, but passenger side the bottom bolt seem to have over torqued and stripped the part. I have already purchased a replacement part except that I left before part arrived, so I couldn't try out the ride. Perhaps I can provide additional review once I return to completely repair vehicle later this year.
★★★★★September 3, 2022

Where do I get replacement bolts?
A MINI dealer is best and guaranteed to be correct. You can find the bolts online, but little you save in the price will be lost with shipping charges. I wouldn't risk using hardware from Lowes or Home Depot for something like this that would be catastrophic if it failed while driving at highway speed.
