XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mini COUNTRYMAN (R60) 2010-2016

The R60 Countryman arrived as Mini’s first proper crossover, and with that brief came a taller ride height, a heavier kerbweight, and suspension geometry that prioritised compliance over precision. For owners who want to tighten that picture – for a more planted fast-road feel or the occasional weekend circuit – the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Mini COUNTRYMAN (R60) 2010-2016 is the direct intervention.

Factory damping on the R60 was deliberately softened relative to the hatch Minis. It is pleasant enough on a smooth motorway but starts to feel wallowy when carrying speed into bends or committing to a fast B-road. A well-set-up coilover changes both axes at once: reducing ride height and roll while sharpening how the car responds under load.

What this coilover does for your 2010-2016 Mini COUNTRYMAN (R60)

The R60’s elevated centre of gravity is its principal handling compromise, and lowering the ride height addresses it directly. Dropped sensibly on the Super Sport, the Countryman sits closer to the road without fouling arch liners or grounding on speed bumps. The 36-way damping adjustment gives you granular control over how the car responds – softer through town, firmer when the road opens up. On the right setting, the R60 stops pitching under braking and rolling through fast corners the way the stock setup allows, without the harshness that fixed-rate budget springs introduce.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits at the intersection of daily usability and fast-road performance, which reflects where most R60 Countryman owners actually spend their time – these are not stripped track cars; they are daily drivers with crossover proportions and a higher-than-hatch centre of mass. The damper targets the most common R60 complaint: a factory setup that handles light urban loads well but runs out of composure under harder cornering forces. With 36-way damping adjustment accessible via each damper’s adjuster, the range of compression and rebound settings is wide enough to suit varied load states, different road surfaces, and different levels of ambition on a given weekend. Ride height is independently adjustable, so the final stance can be set separately from the damper tune. XYZ’s own testing confirms this unit as viable for both weekend circuit sessions and everyday road use.
