Hey,

Im just about to buy fully adjustable suspension for the mini. Im looking at adjustable geometry, gaz lowered shocks and hi-los.

What i was wondering is my car is only used for weekend driving (if that at the moment) so what kind of numbers are good for handling on the mini?

I was thinking maybe -2 camber on front and -1.5 on the rear but thats about all ive got at the moment. I have 12x5 wheels and haven't touched the guards as of yet.

I will also be getting new cones all round so i was also wondering what have people found to be the lowest you could take a mini with it still retaining its handling and street driveability?

I know it is a personally choice but i just wanted to see what people have found works for them and what characteristics the car has with those settings.


Thanks Blake

If the car is mostly for road use I would recommend standard length shock, not lowered ones.

Settings - PM sent.
