was at link automotive a fourghtnight ago and was looking at getting the new coil
suspenion witch takes the place of the rubber cone type.
you can buy it from minimania for around just under $400
link are doing up a car witch i might add is ohhhh my god....very nice....not just a nice paint job but who ever owns this car has some money to spend....its great to see
a done up mini on the hyoist were everything is shiny new and painted....everything look great....and i was told he was going to run there supercharger kit as well...so it should be a great all arounder, any way he was running this suspenion kit but link said they were worrid as it may be too hard???the guy in question was running the blue type witch is the softest you can get.....anyone running this kit???would like to get some feed back b4 i hand over $$$ for it.

i think minispares has a comment on them to the tune of, not for rough roads...


just remeber if you're fitting them to only use one hand... so you can keep the other one down your pants..

Of coarse Cushy that hand down the pants is to protect yourself ...............Right?

I was thinking of getting some of them as well but they are big dollars and it is big dollars that I don't have well at least for another couple of years yet.

The only advantage would be less weight.
I can think of about ten disadvantages.

In my view they are a waste of money that could be better spent on other things.

well what are the ten disadvantages then

One is they have only about 1 working coil and are so short they fall out of position if the car `gets air'...
Check the www.minimania.com site
- some guys there love 'em- others (including KC) hate 'em.
Another prob is no shocks on the planet are calibrated to suit them (according to KC).

As Kev says, do a search on the Mini Mania site. There have been a few guys with major issues concerning them including breakages. There does seem to be legitimate concerns that need addressing at this stage and KC is fairly vocal in his findings to say the least, but there are others just as scathing. You pay your money and take your chances I guess.
