Welcome to MINI Cooper Forums! Congratulations on the purchase of your R56. One of the best bang for your bucks mod for your MINI would be a rear sway bar and if you haven't already, ditch the run flats. Your ride comfort and handling will increase dramatically with normal tires.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to let me know. :)
