Hi,
Does anybody have one of the spring its that replace the rubber doughnuts on a mini fitted?

If so do they really improve the handling??

Has anybody got any dimensions of the springs and poundages

Cheers

Paul

I've heard that they make a huge difference. Don't know how though.
I'm guessing an advantage is, that unlike rubber cones, the coils all have the same sprung properties, probably making setting up your suspension much more accurate.

They do look pretty expensive though. I have thought about them, but coilover shocks just seemed more reasonable.
