We went a different path and had fitted springs from Minitastic along with good GAZ shocks. Absolutely brilliant. Still feels the same handling etc. We set the ride height a bit higher to give the springs some distance to work and played with the shocksettings. - thanks to CC Mini's for the help.
Minitastic do them in 3 different spring rates and we went for the middle one - fast road, because we have 13x7's on. If I was doing it again, I'd get the softer normal road ones.
