Turbo Mini Forums

Just make sure that the shock doesent hit the turret. I had to give the bottom of my turrets a lie tap to stop this

was thinking offset shocks mate to help clear turret top

give em hell

Ive got them, tops no worry was just the bottom on mine

Mine too, top was fine, bottoms caught a bit. Only a mm or two - hammer job.

No MOT issues. Makes it a lot easier to pass infact.

You also do not need a rear valance if you are running a rear beam to pass an MOT.

I had to tap out the bottoms and the top. Make sure you paint it after as you will no doubt crack the paint/underseal.

Eden, what coilovers are you running on yours? because i have noticed that your car runs nice and low. Im hoping to get mine lower on the rear, currently got gaz lowered coilovers and its still too high!
