is this the coil spring conversion you're on about? No idea what it makes the moke handle like but minitastic ones are fab

Just watched the Moke prog. The springs appeared to be of the 'constant rate' type. The rubber cone springs ae so good because they are a pure 'variable-rate' type which means that as the deflection increases, so the rate of the spring itself increases. Due to the short travel of the Mini suspension, a variable-rate spring is really vital for road use. It's different for racing where the track is totally smooth and then a very high-constant-rate spring is OK, but such a spring would be awful on the normal roads.
