Hello!!

Looking for some recommendation on what shock absorbers to purchase for the rear of my Mini. I am on 10s, really want to go as low as possible without scraping my arches. Id like a fast road setup (Honda motor in it). I don't mind bumpy! I currently have yellow springs which aren't too hard, with really old spax which squeek like crazy.

I am doing an order from Minisport (from over seas!), so Id like to know what you gentlemen recommend! Ive looked at the Gaz Adjustables, they have an option of "lowered" guessing the length is a bit shorter for lowered vehicles. Anyone using Koni or Belsteins? All hype or are they actually any good?

Not my car, but same wheels/arches. I am not tubbed though, but you get the idea.

Thanks!

Jeff

GAZ lowered ride height adjustables. Got a set waiting to go onto my car at rebuild so can't comment on ride comfort etc. They are highly adjustable though. Can be super soft or rock solid at either end. If your going low you need the lowered version of any shocks you buy or the shock will get damaged reasonably quickly.
