Hi all how do you keep the rubber cones in place? When I jack the car up they always fall out of place. They are in a wet subframe is that the problem? The cones and shocks are brand new. Do I need shorter shocks?

Yep

we fit the std Hydro rear ext rod bacxk in (the type with the spring inside)
that way , no matter how low you set your suspension ride-height, the whole lot stays in place

however, Most mini shops sell the "after-Market" type rear ext rods, with no sprung pin
so any lowering (or fitting into hydro frames/arms) the cone can fall out & jam & such

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Mini man do you have a photo of the rear extension rods? Do they fit the front aswell

I'm not familiar with these rear ext rod thingys. Dies anyone have a picture please as I have the same problem if the hi los are set too low.

Is there anyone out there who is familiar with these thingys. Much appreciated.

Thanks gtogreen. I understand how this works for hydro suspension, but how can these be fitted to dry suspension cones and work. I must be on the wrong track or train of thought.

You use them with HiLos instead of the trumpets. But no one else has mentioned HiLos so maybe I am on the wrong track.

Yep, I'm on hilos. So how does these thingys hook up to hilos and cones ?
