You will get away with std shocks unless you lower it heaps.

BTW re Hi-Los.. MiniSport ones (Adjusta-rides) take a non- standard (bigger diameter pin) knuckle joint. Not real easy to get here like stock ones are. :wink:

No it means they are bloody hard to get- & forces you to buy MiniSport knuckles.. :evil:
Gafmo had this problem- but I converted them to use stock Mini knuckles.. :wink:

Two works out nicely or possible 1 1/2

So we dont want Minisport Hilos, is Huddersford the only other choice?

Where do we get them from (pref WA)? I need Hilos and will be getting the adjustable Konis front and rear for the van. I posted a long time ago, the Konis are available through Wilkinsons Suspension in Perth, will have to find that thread again to see what they are worth ;)

But HiLos -= full kit with rear extension bar... where can we get them? Karcraft sell them for $50 each and the rear bar kits are $57.34, freight to WA $13, but they didnt say which HiLos they are.. should I ask or presume they will be ok? Is there a WA reseller of the good Hilos?

Pretty sure Karcraft's are the MiniSpares ones, NOT MiniSport.
Email and ask-
