H&R Sport Lowering Springs – 2011–2016 MINI Cooper Countryman ALL4 / Cooper S Countryman ALL4 (AWD) R60 | 28923-4

H&R sport lowering springs for the 2011–2016 MINI R60 Countryman in ALL4 AWD configuration — covering both the Cooper Countryman ALL4 and Cooper S Countryman ALL4. A direct replacement for the factory springs using the factory shock absorbers, delivering a meaningful reduction in ride height, improved handling response, and reduced body roll over the stock R60 suspension. The R60 Countryman sits notably higher than other MINI models given its crossover proportions — H&R sport springs bring the ride height down to a more purposeful stance while retaining the everyday usability that makes the Countryman a practical daily driver. ALL4 AWD variants only — not for FWD Countryman models.

Sport Springs vs. Coilovers — What You’re Getting

H&R sport springs are a drop-in replacement for the factory springs — they install directly onto the factory shock absorbers without any additional modification. This makes them the most straightforward suspension upgrade available for the R60: no custom alignment beyond what a standard post-installation alignment provides, no changes to shock absorber mounting, and full retention of the factory suspension geometry. The trade-off versus a coilover is that ride height is fixed at H&R’s engineered lowering amount — there is no adjustment. For most R60 ALL4 owners who want a better-handling, better-looking Countryman without the complexity or cost of a coilover system, sport springs are the correct choice.

Key Features

• ALL4 AWD Specific: Engineered specifically for the R60 Countryman in ALL4 AWD configuration — the AWD drivetrain and associated suspension geometry require a different spring specification than the FWD Countryman. Confirm your specific drivetrain before ordering — this spring set is not for FWD R60 models
• Progressive Spring Rate: H&R’s progressive spring rate provides a compliant initial response for everyday driving comfort while stiffening progressively under higher cornering loads — delivering both daily usability and improved handling response when the R60 is driven with more intent. Superior to a linear spring rate for a street application on a vehicle used as a daily driver
• Reduced Ride Height: Lowers the R60’s centre of gravity, reducing body roll and improving cornering response over the factory suspension. The R60 Countryman’s relatively tall ride height for a MINI means there is meaningful handling improvement available from a well-engineered spring set — the lower centre of gravity translates directly into flatter cornering and more confident steering response
• Factory Shock Absorber Compatible: Installs directly onto the factory shock absorbers — no additional components required. For best results and longest shock absorber life, H&R recommends installing sport springs on shock absorbers that are in good condition. Worn factory shocks will not perform optimally with sport springs and should be replaced at the same time
• H&R German Engineering: H&R is a German suspension manufacturer with decades of OEM supplier and motorsport experience. Sport springs are H&R’s most popular product line — engineered and validated for each specific vehicle application, not a generic spring rate applied across multiple models

Fitment

• MINI Cooper Countryman ALL4 R60 — AWD (2011–2016)
• MINI Cooper S Countryman ALL4 R60 — AWD (2011–2016)

ALL4 AWD variants only — not compatible with FWD MINI Cooper Countryman or Cooper S Countryman (non-ALL4) R60 models. Verify your specific drivetrain and production date using H&R’s fitment guide before ordering. A four-wheel alignment is required after installation. Shock absorber condition should be assessed before installation — worn shocks should be replaced at the same time as the springs.
