As Most Of You On The Forum Know That I Do Trackdays and Airfield Days.
Well I Needed Some New Shocks, So Because I Advertise Companies I Thought I Might As Well Have A Go.
So To Cut A Long Story Short Because I'm A Member Of The Mini7 Racing Club I Get Money Off Of Any Suspension Product I Like :goaway:

Two Examples;
So The Full Miglia Works Coilover Suspension Kit; Spax Price £524.99 :goaway:
Spax Price With Discount £341.25 :D

Four Adjustable Semi Racing Kit; Spax Price £42.99 Each :goaway:
Spax Price With Discount £27.95 :goaway:

So In Order To Get The Discounts, You Need To Be A Member Of The Mini7 Racing Club (£20)
Either Do Regular Trackdays (Like Me) Or You Actually Do Racing, And As Always You Have To Display Their Championship Decals.

Just Thought I'd Let You All Know

Not That I'm Aware Of, I've Checked The R&R's On The Mini7 Forum And Can't See Anything Stating That They Can't Be Used.

I plan to use Protech to begin with, then upgrade to Nitrons when I've saved a bit!

to be honest, I'm not sure, I doubt they do, but I believe you could probably use some meant for a kit car. I do know that Dan Websters bro uses Nitrons on his KAD mini.

I've been running Spax Adjustable Dampers on my Mini for the past 11 years and they've been awesome.

I just set the rears to say 8 clicks (I have to turn the adjustment screw clockwise with a screwdriver to make them firmer on mine) and the fronts to about 3 or 4 and it still holds on to the corners with virtually no body roll and yet the ride quality is still firm but not uncomfortable.
