Who has hilos here?
I am justifying whether to get them, or just file my rear trumpets down a teency bit coz i dont like how high the rear is.

Who has them on their mini, any tips and pics.
How much do you have yours lowered.

8) Will.

ive got them all round, when my mini was on the road a few months back, i could just fit my ignition key between the rear tyres and the flares.. (like upwards.) i have red ryder shocks all round, and it never scrubed a bit.. only when i picked the left rear up going around this roundabout every arvo at about 70 kays :wink: the ride was shocking, but it looked good bouncing down the road 8)

for the price of them, its worth getting them :)

Yeah, i've had hilos in all my minis.....

Gotta be careful when buying em.... the cheap ones are quite often just that - CHEAP.... and nasty.

When lowering, remember that the front suspension has a 1:3 ratio (1cm shorter = 3cm lower) where as the rear has a 1:5 suspension ratio (1cm shorter = 5cm lower).

AND its a good idea to replace the nylon cups at the same time.
