Although I ticked cones with uprated shocks and hi-los, I think it's worth pointing out that the bhillclimber has uprated doughnuts, but the roadcar has standard items. The Hillclimber also uses ARBs front and rear. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I'm running gaz coilovers front and rear, on modified brackets at the front, and turretted arches at the back. Standard huddersfield spring rates, which I THINK are 180lb front and 130lb rear. Mr. Prawn, the friendly Crustacean- slowly making steps towards forced induction. |

I also clicked the same box as will, but also have uprated doughnuts, and rear ARB rose jointed etc. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

One thing i'd like to know is why do people bother with coilovers all round? Is there actually a handling benefit over rubber cones? On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I did it on mine as an experiement to see what they could be like, and as I was fitting a custom fuel tank in a dropped boot floor, so I wanted to ditch the rear frame.

that is quite interesting, only one person so far with coilovers, i have hear quite alot of bad things about them eg having to modify the brackets to get a good position for the coilover, poor drivability on the road and really bad in the wet.

I'll admit that most brackets you get do need a bit of modifying to work correctly. it looked like mine would have worked fairly well with the car at totally standard ride height, but on a lowered car, they just hit the subframe pretty badly.

I theory there should be as you've got a lot more control over the stiffness of the springs, the downside is that there's a bigger chance of fitting the wrong springs. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

I've always thought cars with a different type of suspension at each end can feel a little unbalanced. that could of course be down to the setup needed to match two different suspension types. Mr. Prawn, the friendly Crustacean- slowly making steps towards forced induction. |

I fitted thereplacement coil springs for my rubber doughnuts. The red ones that allow you to ride over curbs like F1 drivers, or so the add says.
