were's the best place to buy some rubber cones i was going to buy spring set up but read some bad reviews so going to up date my old cones and shocks

Minispares.

 

just decide on what firmness you want.

softer ride the better

[racingbob]

standard mini ones from minispares about £40 each

[Cooperman]

The best ones are the Original Specification ones from Mini Spares.

 

The softness of the ride is more a function of damper setting (assuming you fit adjustable dampers), but you will then lose some steering sharpness and some road-holding if set too soft. A classic Mini is not meant to have a 'soft' ride, it is meant to be comfortably firm.
