Im not 100% but am pretty sure you have to run the lowered ones if you are lowering the ride height via hi-los. I think otherwise the std height ones are too long and for instance if you go over a bump, hill or something to make the wheel drop, the the knuckle or donut can come out of its seat.

Mossy is correct the lowered dampera re really to reduce droop. although in theory ther will mean that the damper won't bottom out either.

I would like to slam the car to get it low, so looks like the lowered ones are the option.

I made the mistake of purchasing the standard ones as i thought you only needed lowered if drastically lowering it. I was wrong. My "standard" front ones bottomed out. The rears did not but when i jacked the car up the dougnut came off the subframe so i had to careful lower the car while positioning it each time.

you'll need lowered ones. I've just found that out the hard way (see my thread from the other day) and I've just ordered a set. |

How far you lower a mini depends on how bad your spine is and/or how bad you want it to be Crystal Sound Audio said:

I fitted the lowed ones after having standed for two reasons one I wanted the car slightly lower and the other was I am running springs all round and the rear ones use to rattle because the travel on standed was allowing the radius arms to come away from the springs, thats why they rattled..
