Hi all,

Just a quick question, im running my race mini in a hillclimb championship.

Last year I had loads of body roll at the back end, about 2.5 inches as the tyres were touching the arch and rubbing.

I was running 100lb springs and was wondering what people think I should go up to?

Corner weights are 105kg on each side if that helps, i'm also running a 1/2 inch anti-roll bar

I would suggest 120lb.
They are not expensive its best just buy some and give it a go.
I run 160kg springs with an anti-roll bar but I have my engine in the back *smiley* my rear Corner weights are 145kg .

I have 125 pound springs on the back at the moment, though I haven't driven in, it feels a lot spungier then with cones. I'll see if I get any bottoming out on the road. If so I'll have to go to 150 pound springs.

I'm not bothered about ride comfort though.
