Hi,
Rear arms are VERY heavy. They exist in alu, but it's very expensive.
Does somebody sell tube arms ?
My Mini is too fat, 700kg. Please help her to loose weight, it's a summer program.

What you will find is that all the fabricated arms are for coil suspension only. There is some scope to lighten the rear arms, but it's not something that I have ever attempted.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph
