Post subject: | rear suspension height |
Both rear tyres bottom out against the rear wheel arches when carrying passengers on uneven roads so was wondering what options are there for raising the rear. l know that a set of rear hi los is one option. l am running 12x5 mags with LS rear brake drums cheers chasg |

what size tyres to you have?? I think if you go a 165/60/12 it should be fine, anything fatter than a 60 series can be to big. Do you have hi-los fitted, if not that will fix your problem, or maybe just fit new rubber cones. |

Car originally had wet suspension with a burst bag when l bought the shell. After repainting it l tranferred the dry suspension and all parts into it from my 73 clubman |

Check the cones on the original suspension haven't given way. They are alloy and can totally collapse. You may want to also check they are seated correctly. HRS |

Yer check the Cones..when I pulled mini out of Marcia they had a few holes..with a light tap the brock in half..I have installed Hi-lo's now Also check the Rubber donuts they may have shat them selves althought its unlikely as normal not to much weight in the back |
