Yes MG ZR coilovers will fit a BRM.

Wouldn't know if they require anything special modifications to fit unless I could see them, some coilovers do, some don't.

Would I ever buy second hand coilovers.......no. You don't know the history of them, if they've been serviced correctly (invariably not), are they seized or do the platforms turn easily, do they leak, etc. You may end up paying more getting them refurbished than your saving buying second hand.

Also note, coilovers should not make ANY noise when going over bumps, no banging, scraping, squeeking, etc. I know people that fit them incorrectly and think this noise is the norm, it isn't.

Just go into the purchase with your eyes open and don't just buy "because they're cheap". :)
