I've just got my mini and have a question about the suspension, It has Hi-Lo's and Spax struts. How do you adjust the height? Also the dampening? There is a little screw on the struts is that to adjust them? At the moment the ride is rock hard, if you push down on the front it moves about 1cm. Goes round corners well tho

Thanks,
Dan

To adjust HI-Lo's depends on what type you have.

The newer type have 2 nuts that you, jack the car up remove the wheel and undo the lock nut and adjust the large bolt, Adjust each side the same amount. Just a little at a time and drive it to settle the suspension. then check the hight.

Spax have either a small screw or a knurled nut. Adust these (both the same amount) till your happy with the damping. Its always best to start on the softest setting and go harder.
