I brought the Minisport ones recently while in the UK only because they came already assembled and Minispares were out of stock of some parts. 2 issues I had -1st the balljoints were done up so tight they could not be moved without hooking a ring spanner over the bolt and applying a lot of lever force.2nd the ball joints were non-genuine (cheap- like $7 in a $1000 order) and not the $25 genuine. I have since purchased genuine from Minispares and yet to get around to changing them over. |

I got the 7.5 inch kit from mini spares uk! Along with an adjustable suspension setup to my front door for just over $800! I can't fault mini spares at all, service was great and the brakes were here in 7 days! Your welcome to check out the kit on my car if u like! And test your wheels to make sure they clear before you buy! Cheers, Rhys |

I think this thread might have some relevant commentary for you: http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic ... sc&start=0 The ball joint kits supplied by Mini Spares (and possibly others) is notorious for not having enough shims - use your own second handies or buy a shim kit to go along with your order.

I have 2 sets of the 7.9 minisport pre assembled kits and have had no issue. Just had another kit delivered for a customers car and they are all good too. Maybe some are assembled on a Friday arvo... |
