Set the ride height to standard.
Solid mount the front sub-frame.
Fit adjustable tie bars.
Use 165 section Yokohamas on 10" or 12" wheels with wheels no wider than 5".
For damping use either a set of KYB Gas Adjust or Spax or GAZ adjustables.
Set front toe-out to 1 mm.
Fit 1.5 degree negative camber lower arms.

On the rear set zero to -0.5 degrees negative with 1 mm to 2 mm toe in.

Ensure all suspension bushes are in good condition.

I hope this helps. If done it will give good road-holding combined with excellent handling.

Once done do not drive faster than you know how to .

Hi Cooperman   Could you explain why no wider than 5" alloys?

The Mini Spares conversion kit is very good.

I've not heard of any problems with either.
If it's for historic competition you need to check the regulations as 'original specification brakes'may be mandated.
