You're not being ignored mate, they're just pretty rare things. I can only remember hearing about 1 or 2 sets being fitted myself. If none of us have them fitted we can't really say how good they are.

NeilG is going to use them, but hasn't had them on a drivable mini yet.

ive got them but again not driven with them

Chris, The blue springs will be soft and really need sway bars. Red springs could even use a rear bar. Green are a little stiff for street. Those springs are made by John Koo at Sracer. Top quality. He built my car and put red springs on mine. I have an MK1 and I can't believe that green would be any good on the street in a light car. Although I drove one of his MK3's with Reds and they felt softer than mine due to it being a heavier car. Do make sure that you order the correct bump stops. That way you can lower the car all the way down with hi los and not worry about the spring unsettling if you get airborne.

Do make sure that you order the correct bump stops.

Which ones?

I was considering these but was worried theyll fall out

[Pavel]

Bump stops won't help stopping them from falling out. You need to make some holes in the locating ring in the subframe, and then zip tie the springs to the locating ring to prevent them from getting dislodged if you raise the car or if you jump up in the air But to be fair with a lowered car, even rubber donuts can still fall out this way.
