Hi

If u need a good suspension first go with springs rather than cones there is one special for rally better than cone. And lower arm adjustable and hi lo adjustable


Regarding the shock absorbers go with these two only:
1) bilstein b4 its gaz
2) koni lowered

I give u these as per my experience on mpi and i will give u photos for my suspension if u want

Thanks

sorry. springs are totally unsuitable on the Mini. they have a linear rate (not rising) they are positioned incorrectly and create a failing rate suspension design. requiring a stiffer spring than is actually needed so you get a very harsh ride which goes soft in roll.  and don't get me started on the replacement coils. they don't have the required travel. they get coil bound and fail or cause the subframes to fail.

Hi

Is i know there are 3 types of spring soft and std and hard which is using for rally and minispares selling it

Maybe u r special in rally and u r more experience for that

But if u would like to change the suspension u have to change the arm and tge shock to get best results

three types mmmm so you are taking about the direct replacement ones. first off anything will feel better than an old sagged rubber doughnut.

 

first what happens to these coil springs before they reach full suspension travel

so what happens when the springs go and bind (no air between the coils)

or maybe you have blue ones

or some red ones?

 nice.

 

so as well as needing to be stiffer ( fatter coils) they just do not have the required travel to work correctly.

Oh my god! The spring and the subframe damaged

This was very bad. I did not know that it was bad for travel. The cones will be sure better thanks for sharing ur acknowledge

Springs, oversills and polyBush front subframe to toe board mountings should be banned from sale.

Thing is the rubber cone is a rising rate device which means the more compressed the cone the more load it will take. However springs don't help
