| Post subject: | What shocks |
Wouldn't mind members feedback on what shocks they have loved or hated on there minis. Presently I'm running spax 20 point adjustables. I find them pretty good but too firm, I'm thinking of trying a set of blisteins, (see below). I read that the poms seem to rave about avo shocks and gaz, what do you use on the street and track!

I'd be using Bilsteins if I could afford them - Doogie (ex Motorkhana champion and all-round nice guy) runs them on his motorkhana car and wouldn't use anything else. What are you paying for the set, and where from? I wouldn't mind just a pair of fronts (hydro car) |

I've got these: http://minisport.com.au/kyb-gas-a-just- ... i-and-moke I've only had a minimal amount of use out of them, but they are a vast improvement over my very old red-riders. I don't know what 'self adjusting' is supposed to mean - but they give a good balance of ride and handling I think. |

I run Bilsteins in my other car. They have been on the car for 20 yrs to my knowledge and are a great shocker and still going strong. The ones I've got have the advantage of being able to be rebuilt and revalved to suit the car, mind you they were $400 a corner! Cheers Shane |

We run lowered GAZ shocks on two of our cars. Seem to do a great job in motorkhanas.

Bilsteins are brilliant shocks, forever rebuildable, they were the single greatest improvement to my cooper s apart from the quaife diff. Doogie |

From what I've heard the Bilsteins are probably the best, though the price is pretty epic! http://minispares.com/product/Classic/S ... |Back%20to So at least $450 + postage. Don't mistake them for the cheaper ones: http://minispares.com/product/Classic/S ... |Back%20to I have a set of Protech Alloy lowered shocks: http://www.minispares-online.co.uk/rear ... ssic-mini/ Won't really be able to tell you if they're any good, but are well built, solid and fairly affordable. Improved the ride out of hand, but when I say that I also replaced all donuts, bushes and fitted adjustable suspension at the same time, so I can't tell you how much is due to the shocks. |
