Over the last month Manic Motorsport has refined its tuning packages to simplify options. Lohen offers the full range of maps and you now are able to spec pops, bangs and flames into your map, operational when the car is in sport mode. Lohen customer, Mark Thomas, has done just that by treating his Gen 2 JCW Clubman to a Stage 3 remap alongside a few extra pops and flames - we're not sure if they're too subtle, however?!

Good product and great service and advice from Lohen

After researching suspension upgrades for my MINI Cooper S R56, I decided to go with Lohen Lowering Springs, and the results have exceeded all expectations. From the moment of purchase to every drive since installation, the experience has been exceptional.
🔧 Installation & Customer Service
Lohen’s customer service is simply outstanding. From the first email to post-install follow-up, they were informative, professional, and passionate about MINIs. They helped confirm compatibility with my R56, explained what kind of ride quality to expect, and even scheduled me in for a quick and efficient fitting. The on-site service at their workshop was top-tier—friendly staff, attention to detail, and a real enthusiasm for the MINI community.
🏎️ Performance & Handling
The difference these springs make to handling is immediately noticeable. On my R56 Cooper S, the body roll has been significantly reduced, giving it a tighter and more composed feel through corners. The steering feels more direct, and the chassis now feels more connected to the road, especially during spirited drives on twisty roads. Impressively, ride comfort remains perfectly livable for daily driving, striking a great balance between performance and practicality.
🚗 Stance & Aesthetics
Visually, the springs deliver a perfect drop—enough to close the fender gap and give the R56 a much more aggressive, planted stance without going too low. The car looks noticeably more purposeful and clean without compromising clearance for everyday driving. It's a subtle but powerful transformation that really completes the look of the R56.
✅ Verdict
If you're a MINI R56 owner looking to sharpen your handling, improve aesthetics, and enjoy an upgraded driving experience, Lohen Lowering Springs are a fantastic upgrade. Add in their incredible customer service and expert installation, and you're getting real value from a brand that knows MINIs inside and out.
Highly recommended for any enthusiast who wants their MINI to handle as good as it looks.

After recently upgrading my MINI R56 with the Koni Special Active Sport Suspension Dampers, combined with Lohen's own lowering springs, the transformation in ride and handling has been nothing short of outstanding. Installed by the ever-reliable team at Lohen, this setup has given my MINI a new lease on life — sporty, composed, and genuinely enjoyable on any road.
Ride Quality & Handling:
The Koni dampers on their own offer a great balance, but paired with Lohen’s lowering springs, the setup really comes into its own. The car sits lower with a purposeful stance, and the center of gravity drop makes it feel far more planted through corners. B-road blasts feel sharper and more responsive, with significantly reduced body roll and much-improved composure during quick directional changes.
Comfort:
Despite the drop and sportier setup, comfort hasn’t been sacrificed. This combination smooths out imperfections in a way that keeps daily driving enjoyable. The Special Active tech in the Koni dampers adapts well to road conditions — soft when it needs to be, firm when pushed — and the Lohen springs complement that flexibility perfectly.
Installation by Lohen:
As expected, Lohen delivered a flawless install. Their attention to detail, MINI-specific expertise, and customer service were top-notch. They also performed a full geometry check post-install, ensuring the car not only looked the part but handled perfectly, too.
Verdict:
The combination of Koni Special Active Dampers with Lohen’s lowering springs is a must for MINI R56 owners who want real-world performance without sacrificing ride quality. It sharpens the car’s behavior, improves aesthetics, and keeps things comfortable enough for the daily commute. With Lohen’s expert installation, it’s a high-quality, confidence-inspiring upgrade.
