Hi,

 

My Mini project has finally started in the bodyshop, I looked at the suspension and it seems to have new Monroe shocks but new standard suspension cones etc.

 

I really want HI LO suspension to set the ride height nice, so I guess its a case of just buying a kit to work with the new Monroe shocks?

 

I've been looking at these two on eBay, one is £10 more then the other. Not sure which one to go for?

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks

I have Minisport's "Adjustride" set. Can't fault it.

I'm going for Adjusta Ride myself, so it's good to see someone else endorsing it hah.

I have genuine hi Los on the front and adjusta rides on the back. Both seem good. Avoid the cheap replicas, quality is very variable on the ones I have seen.

Ajuster ride is best as with the hi-los kit you need to drill ajustment holes in rear valance and holes through the front sub tower bolt for the rather long ajustment allen key............

MiniSpares ones.  Best quality and will last.  Easy to change heights too.  Couple spanners, jobs a good un.  Even in an ASDA carpark on the way to a show when you passnger was making it rub...!

DO NOT BUY CHEAP REPLICA OFF EBAY!!!!

 

Genuine hi lo i would reccomend.

So what is the difference between the Minispares HILO Kit and the Minisport AdustaRide?

 

These seem to be a good Mini parts supplier:

Yep Wood and Picket are a good supplier - just avoid some cheap replica eBay companies... it doesnt pay off! trust me!

No spare under the rear wheel? You're braver than me!

Spare? 13s don't fit in the boot ;)

You don't! I've got genuine ones on mine and you can definitly adjust them with spanners in situ with out the need for any other mods
