I like the idea, very compact and takes the stress away from the body unlike coil-overs. My only coment would be id be worried about the weld sheering away as half of the spring mount is unsupported. On a Mini would i be right in thinking that the rubber cones sit flat against a surface?

yes thats right the are but i still need to weld an angled peg that loops over the top of the top mount welded to the cover for that simple re


I imagined you'd have further plans for them as im sure you can see what i mean... not a critism just an observation

i thought someone would pick up on that as i did when i went to pick them up and looked at a subframe already built that had the pegs alredy welded

Location: Jelling, Denmark		is it right to think that the adjustable mounting plates in on the top suspension arm which the spring rests on are the "high-low" kind for minis?

are the springs also the same as on minis?

where are the inner spring from?

and what about rear shocks?

the adjusting rod sits into the top arm which is like the hilos on minis
the spring are to fit the v tec conversion that watson rally does
the inner springs i had made to stiffen suspension due to the sixteen inch alloys
the rear socks are to my own desighn
