Hello Everyone!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Now for my question, I would have placed this in the FAQ section, but it won't allow me. So here is goes. Has anyone ever purchased Polyurethane Suspension Cones from this company? l http://www.strongfle...nsion-cone.html I've purchased from Dinky before and sill haven't had any sag yet and they are used on my daily driver. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

This is the Dinky ones I have now, but the only issue is the cost. This set of 4 cost me approximately 250 Pounds, not to include shipping. I want to buy another set, but not sure if I want to pay that much again. I'll just save my pennies. Any other suggestions?

I'll just save for some front Dinky ones for the front and get rubbers in the back. Thanks for the information.

In engineering terms how are they supposed to be better than the original rising-rate rubber cones? They are an almost impossible act to beat in terms of performance on normal roads.
Maybe they are good for racing.
Performance graphs of deflection against vertical load?

Are you referring to the initial ones I posted from the website or the set (Dinky) I already have? For the Dinky, I haven't had any sagging from them (Installed in 2012) compared to what I hear the genuine ones get after a few years of usage. Anyone else have Dinky type?

As for the Dinky ones,the suspension is a bit more stiff, and very responsive compared to when I did have rubber Dunlop style cones. You must also take into consideration that I have a solid mount alloy front end installed from DSN Classics, so that is also a factor in the stiff control on the mini. Also, they do flex quite a bit as I've hit some potholes. The reason I went with Dinky, is because in the U.S. it's going to be more expensive to get Mini parts and I wanted items that would last me longer. I also use Yokohama A048 tires, and Italian roads are made of some lousy asphalt materials. Specially in raining conditions where all the cars here seem to loose traction on the road, except the Autostrada. Those roads are great!
