The KW V2 Coilover Kit is a complete four-corner suspension upgrade for the 2002-2006 Mini Cooper and Cooper S, KW's part 15220042. It replaces the factory struts and springs with a height-adjustable coilover set that adds rebound damping adjustment on top of everything the entry-level V1 kit offers. Every KW coilover in this application is developed specifically for the R50/R52/R53 chassis rather than sold as a generic universal kit, with a damper setup and spring rate tuned for this car and validated on KW's 7-post rig and at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Why Choose V2 V2 builds on V1 with KW's patented two-stage TVR-A (Twin Valve Rebound - Adjustable) technology, giving 16 clicks of rebound damping adjustment at the top of the piston rod. Raising rebound force reduces body movement and sharpens stability and cornering composure; backing it off returns a more compliant ride. Compression damping is not affected by this adjuster. Features INOX-LINE stainless-steel strut housings, rust-free with an unlimited service life Twin-tube damper design with 16-click adjustable rebound (TVR-A technology) Threaded height adjusters at both axles for continuously adjustable ride height Dirt-resistant trapezoid thread and composite adjustment collar What's Included Front strut assemblies (x2) Rear strut assemblies (x2) Vehicle-specific bump stops and dust protection KW documentation and parts certificate Installation Notes Have an alignment performed after installation, since a ride-height change affects camber and toe. Rebound adjustment access depends on the installed position of the piston rod on this chassis, so confirm reach before committing to a firmer setting on the car.

Chasing more precise rear camber control after lowering? BMP also stocks the KW adjustable rear control arm set for this chassis. Frequently Asked Questions What does the rebound adjustment do?It changes body control independently of the compression damping KW's engineers already tuned for the car. More rebound firms up handling and stability; less returns ride compliance. Can I adjust the ride height after installation?Yes. KW's trapezoid-thread height adjuster stays serviceable for years, so you can fine-tune the drop within the tested range at any time. Do I need an alignment after installing this kit?Yes, every ride-height change should be followed by a professional alignment. Do you have questions about fitment or setup?Reach out and contact your BMP Tuning rep.
