tcbw: 2006 DS/B R53 - from Finland

[tcbw]

hejsan NMCS

I'm a Brit living in Finland, and I run a 2006 MINI Cooper S with Alta 17% pulley, dave.f CAI, GRS-M intercooler, Bilstein B14 suspension, uprated brakes (Carbotech XP8s and Nitracs in stock calipers, with Goodridge steel lines), Cobalt skidplate, OMP and M7 braces, and OZ Racing wheels.

What I really need now is a decent independent MINI specialist who can do some more work on the suspension, on my next trip to Stockholm/Sweden. Can anyone help?

all the best
Tim

PS I sort of 'know' KPKalle and Fredrik from totalMINI
PPS sorry about the lack of Swedish

Hey Tim, nice to see you pop in here mate

I am not that frequent in here at the mo for various reasons, but I am sure some of the guys in here has got proper knowledge of a good specialist so next time you are in Sweden you can get it sorted.

I know Öhlins has got some products both for R50/53 and R56, but as far as I know they just do the "easy bit" to manufacture the stuff and not putting it on the car.

Thanks - I'd hate to have to drive all the way back to the UK for some work that could usefully be done in SEK

Är det någon som tror sig känna till en bra stötdämparspecialist runt Stockholm och kan rekommendera denna åt Tim?
Det skall alltså ej vara en MINI / BMW-verkstad.

If you need only fitting , Britalian can help, but we dont make any adjustments as we do not have that kind of equipment

I put my Öhlins on at IDH Wheels & Tyres on grevgatan. They do the adjustments as well
