My mini with leda coloivers and 18s fitted, finally

[R14lST]

ok backseats are out, and ive just fitted my leda racespec coilovers. i found this sweet mechanic local who seems to know what hes doing. he spent a week setting it up until he thought it was handling as well as it could.

Lowereing it and adjusting the dampening setting.

therer arer 24 click settings that are changed by a litle nob in each strut which basically changes the rebound force. its easy . a motorway day and you can soften them right off. then when u wanna do a track day you sharpen them right up so they are super hard!.

its on 12 at the froun aqnd 18 at the rear.
its a bumpy ride beacuse there isno wight int he back but best for handling..

and it goes round corneres even better than before its crazy.
18s are nice but ive lost a bit of precisnes i had with the 17s so think im gonna change back eventually.... we wil see.

the thing is the mini suspention is set soft.. because bmw are so enthusiatic about these horrble runflats... so when ypou change to no rubflats on minis and bmw for the matter it ruins the handling.. to to compensate you have to harden the suspention...
when u put the 18s on i was rerally piised of beacuse the handling was crap.. it wobbleed and rolled. with the coilovers its a totally different car. much beter than it was standard. however its a bit more of a challenge. when you are on the limits of grip its sems to just suddenly let go ratther than gradually leeting go and giving you time to react.


here are some pics.. gimmie some feedbak.

Looks good mate, yea for best handling you really need to stick to 17s. Myself, I'm not keen on the wheels, would much prefer something with a more motorsport feel oz, speedlines etc

Aslong as you like thats all that matters :p

I'll get my Coilovers ordered next week.:doublethumbs:

[George]

The new MINI is a better car than the classic one, thats just obvious isnt it?

Also they are a much better car than the Corsa C, not that the Corsa C is bad car but there is plenty of room for improvement.

[Grownupcorsaman]

Wheels are gash.

And along with a few others not a huge fan of the bmw maxi, I mean mini.

But end of the day so long as your happy jobs a gooden :D

My MINI is in for warranty work today and I've got a brand new BMW 116i with all the gadgets, just 29 miles on the clock. Probably worth twice what my MINI is but I'd have the MINI over it any day!
