If you mean the shims then Minispares sell them separately

Nope spacers. not a thing that Mini spares do.
they move the balljoint lower.

Not seen any for sale for many many years. You might try Swift tune.

Leigh Dale at Mondosport, KAD, or Endaf Owens at Owens Fabrication.

 

Maybe others who supply or support Miglias, perhaps SHEngineering, MED or the like can help ??

Phil.

sure but i am fed up with the waiting how long and how many Email/messages does it take?

hence the request for a clic and buy.

You can just about see them on here at the bottom of the pic. 

 

These are the type that Mondo Sport sell but I'm yet to see them appear on a retail site.

Nick, have you sent Adrian at KAD an email? I'd find it surprising if he hasn't been back to you, even if the answer is no, after a few days. I know he does get busy from time to time, so be a little patient.

[nicklouse]

to be honest KAD were not on my list as they dont list them and the time they took getting back to be about the Arches.

and as they do the Metro threaded hubs they can just drop in an MGF ball joint to do the same.

Obviously all of you are familiar with these items... I am not.  What do they do?  What change/advantage do they offer?

[Alex_B]

I believe leigh dale deals with KAD regularly so if you can't get through to him then they may be able to put you in touch.

[smudger068]

i will be interested to see if you can find these on click and collect type thing as i spent ages before.

When Minis run as low as some do it puts the roll center and the geometry out.

These spacers therefore put the lower arms at a correct angle so an ideal center can still be maintained.

they can do a number of things.

as you lower a Mini a number of things happen.
the front roll center goes under the ground plane.

and the lower "Triangle" starts adding positive camber.(or does not add as much negative camber) these things can be changed by reloacating the pivot points (not easy in most cases) the easiest is the lower ball joint.
it also does other things as well depending on the height of the spacer. (caster and kingpin angle will change).

thread revival, got my ball joint spacers, but my Q is, how do I fit the lower ball joint spring? the spacer has a hole inside and the spring does not sit on the spacer.....

 

 

how do you do?
