Its official, Minisport products are $H!T
Turbo Mini Forums

Words cannot express how seriously pissed off I am with the lack of basic quality of Minisport products!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......................

I bought some of their camber/ tracking brackets a couple of years ago, and I have only got round to 'attempt' to fit them, Not a fucking chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!....................

Now ok, we all know that Minispares are not great, but I have used these brackets in the past and I dont recall there being any problems with the fit.

They are so far out of shape that they will never bolt up tight leaving a 3/8" gap as it then fouls the trunion. even if it did bolt up the under side bolt holes just wouldn't line up.

Pile of shite!!!! Minisport are getting absolutely zero of my hard earned, from this day on!

I might take them back and create a scene in the shop on a Saturday, but then whats the point, fucked if I can find the recipt and there's no way i'm taking any replacements or credit in the shop, and why i'm having a rant on a public forum, because I can

Time to invest in some KAD brackets me thinks! :)

Serves you right for buying shite from Mini Sport !!!

The only thing mininsport personally are good for is there billit ally which is dsn lol, though i nearly bought some adjustable bottom arms from them but i think not now, know of any good places to buy heavy duty ones??

I've had the same problem with a set of those, either from Minisport or minispares. I gave up and fitted the standard ones that came with the subframe although I'm looking at getting a pair of fixed -1.5 camber brackets instead.

i orderd a load of parts for my engine build after 2 week i rang them to find out where my stuff was they said they was having problems with there surplyers and my items should arrive within the nxt week well i gave them another two weeks and still no stuff so cancled my order phoned mini spare with the same order and it all arrived the next day. I learnd then mini sport were crap

Done now needs redoing lol

i have only used minisport once, to be fair they come the next day and was all correct, maybe this was a one off, i have heard they are shite so never used them again.

I had issues with my rollcage aswell. Ordered from Minisport when they had a sale on, lead time was couple of weeks. I rang up after a while to check status, "yeah they are coming in soon, blah blah, expect it soon" few more weeks pass, another phonecall "well we haven't received enough orders yet to order the batch from safety devices" checked a few things with Gavin at minispares, cancelled Minisport order and ordered with minispares, arrived a few days later.

Oh and when I phoned to cancel the order with Minisport the bloke on the phone claimed they were coming in tomorrow!!

Thats why I sent my original ones to Senior F.Carl... who turned them into adjustables.. because they came off the car they fit first time, great josb and cheaper than KAD, but then I cant adjust the toe..

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

KAD have changed their by the looks of it and they now represent a similar product to the Minisport ones, with likely the obvious high standard of quality and fit that KAD are known for.

At a little over £30 for fully adjustable ones from Minispares, Its a toss up. Carl What can you do for me? :)

It's groundhog day!

Save yourself the hassle and don't buy from them. simples.

Jeez I worked out not to buy from minisport when I was 20.

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

Three chances and benefit of the doubt, but since they have used up both.

Andy, those two items were 'genuine' apparently. It is devious and deceiveing when what is described as genuine is infact cheep shite, and i'm sure trading standards would be interested If I or anybody else could bother their arse. But yes, I'm an idiot.

Like I said, I had used those brackets in 2000 and don't recall any fitment problems, so why would they be any different?

i agree minisport stuff is basically shite, i only live 4 miles from them so i use them often for small items. but i think the new ones they sell are modified because the old ones diddnt fit cause i constantly go down and rant to them and tell them how they SHOULd be made. and with about 2 or 3 products they have listened to me. their new camber brackets (should) fit now? i have some on mine and theyre "ok"

i got all my suspension stuff from minispares. havnt fitted them yet though

always had BAD service of minisport, their mail order department are not good at best

they seemed ok not had much with dem tho ite
