I am currently repairing and rebuilding my subframes and i wanted to uprate my usspension componants, I want a fast road set up which i can use on the odd hill climb. I believe the kit below is the one i should go for just asking some for some advice on the matter - will be using spax adjustable dampers and high lows too

That is the kit I would buy, fully adjustable, well made, well priced and robust.

I have the same stuff on my hillclimber, but mine is all rosejointed.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

i too and going for the standard cones as mine are only a few yrs old, but i might replace if they look past their best when i remove them properly as the fronts are still in a the rear frame is being replaced due too rot

the minispares cones (red and yellow) are not only stiffer but the spring rate is tuned for the length of the stroke, i dont know any details of the changes but comparing the standard item and the red dots i have the rubber is a very different shape, alot of guys rate this setup over coilovers, Wil_h uses these on his hillclimber mini, its his setup i have almost copied

EDIT sorry Wil its a hillclimber*happy*

my cones was cracked and the metal base ring had parted company so i had to buy new anyway and extra 20quid per corner aint alot

Make sure you ask to pay extra to have the adjustable rear toe type brackets those in the kit are camber only

That kit comes with shims, you can use MSSK3013 if you prefer adjustment on the rear brackets.
