I'm thinking of getting these spring conversions to replace the rubber donuts in the sub frames, I already have hiLos fitted, has anyone had any experience with these? Are they worth the money? Or time?

Must be some no name ones.

You had the right ones on front and back? As they are different rates.

Have the Minitastic ones for over 15,000ks everyday driving
Never had a problem.

As I Said, Minitastic springs have been around for a while now.
Tried and tested.

Go the fast road kit if you want a decent ride, if you want a modern
Car ride the road springs, you will need to run the car high though..

if runing 13's you will need a Anti sway bar..

I can testify they crap all over donuts, After being in nicks rover on donuts then his swift mini with springs the springs are a no brainer.
Unless of course youve got a set of hydros kicking about.
