The Mini Cooper F56 with Dynamic Damper Control (DDC) uses a small stepper motor to allow for minute damping adjustments to OEM suspension. Before installing our BC Racing Coilover Kit you will disconnect this stepper motor from the OEM suspension but it is not necessary to remove the stepper motor from the vehicle. We have designed a kit to accommodate the stepper motor although it will no longer function. There are a few very subtle differences in our Mini Cooper F56 Coilover kits for DDC/without DDC models in order to match the OEM damper shaft top pin size. Our front piston rod top pin shaft for the DDC model is a few millimeters larger than the non-DDC model. The reason for this is because BC Racing makes every attempt possible to match the OEM part sizes, even the piston shaft top pin diameter.
Since the F56 with DDC has a larger diameter top pin size to accommodate the OEM damping control, our T-04-BR kit follows the same specs. In the front of the F56, this isn't really a problem since camber plate top mounts come standard, but in the rear, the larger diameter top pin is needed to fit through the OEM upper strut tower hole. For a Mini Cooper without DDC, you would need to use the BC Racing T-05-BR kit. The T-05-BR kit uses a narrower rear top pin to allow it to pass through the OEM upper strut tower mount. If you were to try and put a T-04-BR kit on an F56 without DDC, the rear shock would not fit. The same goes for putting a T-05-BR kit on an F56 with OEM DDC, the rear shock would not fit.
