Ta Dave, handling like its on rails :P

Adam, springs were about £200, inc postage, I already had the hilos. Sounds expensive I know, but its equivalent to red dots, and they're a much nicer ride than they are. They're about the same as rubber springs I think handling wise. They do make potholes and speedbumps a lot less harsh though.

Only thing not working now is the speedo. The angle adaptor was too big, so I'm gonna have to do a bit of rethinking... Also found the MOT tester was an even bigger twunt than I thought - he's set the headlamps on the high beam setting, thinking it was low beam. Which I found out when I came out the pub at 11.30 the other week - headlamps pointing straight at the floor. Plick!

I can vouch for those springs ... they're brilliant. By the time you've paid for new rubber cones, you might as well change to the springs, anyway! The change in ride is amazing!

Mini looks fantastic, Tom! You've done really well!! :P Arches are definitely a huge improvement!! ;)
