mini tastic all the way unless ur gonna do some serious racing

have you driven a car with either of the set-ups on?

[ianpettifer]

I think im heading for the minitastic springs as

they are a simple swap and dont require a lot of work unlike the coilys

Also im thinking about going to MITP with the celtic crew and then find sum people to camp wiv if any1s offering loool so see you there people

[mini_mad69]

Me and a few mates are going, I think jamie may join us if he's not busy. Will have to see what happens.

Looking good. I'd go for the springs, i've heard that coilovers can be very harsh.

UPDATE!
Good and bad news!

Fitted 2 front springs yay! They feel so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i <3 minitastic

now for bad news

Once fitted i drove the car down the road then stopped got out to have a look at how the car was sitting, how low etc.
I then put both hands on the front pannel where the bonnet mechanism is etc and pushed down on the front of the car to see how bouncy it was LOL

Then BAM my 2 fingers on my right hand got stuck between the alternator and the front panel damaging the top of my 2 fingers!

So that was the end of that haaaa

there ok now but seriously bruised!

Mini says: How would you like it if I jumped up and down on your face?! *BITE*

How did you manage that, front end damaged or just bad luck?

[ianpettifer]

ha the bonnet was off as i had to take off to take the tower bolts off etc then just drove it down my road with no bonnet

what a great idea that was.

Im starting to regain use of the 2 fingers today woop.

I will fit rear springs tmoz, and sort out lots of lil things and clean ready for weston meet on sunday nite

[ianpettifer]
