What do you guys think of the handling of a rear bike engined mini using front coilovers? I notice z-cars are pushing their own design tubular front subframe & are saying a mini doesnt handle well with coilovers? Any of you have any thoughts?

Apparently they are a bit skittish in a rear engined mini. I think a front anti roll bar is the soloution tho.

A front anti roll bar is an option I might experiment with. Going to fabricate shock mounts to get them as upright as possible also.
