What are the best shockies to use on a mini.

What mods can I do to make her handle a bit better. Its got rubber cones and 12inch wheels. I have Hi-Lo's in the front and spacers in the back to lift it so the 12's dont scrape and thats about it. Wouldn't mind starting to look at ways to improve it's handling, bearing in mind i do the odd grass motorkhana etc so it cant ride TOO low!!

Any suggestions, as usual will be appreciated.
:P

You aren't the only one impressed by these cheepies! I had to replace the ones on the back of my van for the RWC, and I put these lip ones on. I bought the cheapest ones I could, cause it's no speed demon! However, I swear the backend on my van is more precise than my 1275 LS! Don't know what shocks are on my 1275 LS though.

KYB aren't in the poll. How about Bilsteins also. Do they supply any for a mini. I meant to ring Heasmans and find out but hospital got in the way.
