How much can a sport pack mini be lowered before shorter shocks are required?

Cheers

I dont know what the deal with minis is, but my experience on VWs says that if you lower the car AT ALL you should change the shocks.

that was my underdstanding too, it think you could get away with less than an inch drop before new dampers are needed really.

I was told up to an inch is fine with normal rather than lowered dampers, I ran normal on mine for a while (and you know how low that is:cool: got lowered now though).

Bear in mind though that a sportpack rides slightly higher as standard, so you may get away with a bit more (spacer on the knuckle). Anyway, I thought you had already lowered it when you did the rest of the suspension?

If it hits the bump stops on susp travel before the damper bottoms out then the dampers will be OK........
